ALCTS/PARS joint meeting of discussion groups

ALCTS/PARS Joint Meeting of Discussion Groups:
Preservation Education and Outreach Discussion Group
With
Preservation Issues In Small to Mid-Sized Libraries Discussion Group
Sunday, June 29, 1997
2:00pm to 4:00pm
Crowne Plaza Parc Fifty Five Hotel - Raphael Room

This is a one-time-only joint meeting of the discussion groups
mentioned above since the subject is of wide interest.

To follow up on the topic of Web pages for preservation departments,
which has been discussed for the past three ALA meetings, the PARS
Preservation Education and Outreach Discussion Group will organize a
presentation by representatives from SOLINET dealing with a look at
the Internet as a virtual resource for preservation information.
This presentation will provide a valuable look at the increasingly
important resources that can be found on the Internet, such as
institutional Web sites, full-text publications, form discussion
groups and newsletters, and sources for supplies and services.  The
session will include handouts and demonstrations of current
resources, and time will be made for discussion, questions, and
hopefully, answers.

If time allows, further discussion will center on various means of
making preservation information available to institutions, such as
small historical societies, and school libraries, which do not have
Internet access.

The meeting will conclude with election of a new Preservation
Education and Outreach Discussion Group Chair, Peter Verheyen having
volunteered for this position, but the call will go out for
nominations from the floor for the Chair, as well as a Co-Chair.

Please contact me if there are questions you would like to have
answered.
