Preliminary PARS schedule

Here is the preliminary PARS (ALA Preservation and Reformatting
Section) schedule for ALA's 1997 annual meeting. If you have any
questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

Please note that all start times of the meetings are fixed--i.e.,
for those of you who are chairs of committees, discussion groups,
etc. please make sure you begin your meeting at the time listed.
However, you can *quit* anytime you want, so if your meeting block
is scheduled for too long a period, just let people know (somehow)
that your meeting will be ending early.  FYI--The PARS Executive
Committee hopes to discuss with appropriate ALA individuals the
whole issue of how meeting time blocks are determined.
