Preservation Issues in Small to Mid-Sized Libraries DG Agenda

["Cathy Mook" <cmook@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please join the Preservation Issues in Small to Mid-Sized Libraries 
Discussion Group  and the Preservation Education and Outreach 
Discussion Group as they present a special, one time joint meeting at 
the 1997 American Library Association Annual Conference.

Focusing on those small to mid sized  libraries that do not have  a 
preservation librarian or easy access to print materials, this 
meeting will look at preservation resources available
electronically. A representative from SOLINET's preservation field 
services office 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.

The meeting will be held on Sunday, June 29, 1997 from  2:00pm to 
4:00pm in the Crowne Plaza Parc Fifty Five Hotel - Raphael Room.

As the chair of the Preservation Issues in Small to Mid-Sized 
libraries DG, I would like to acknowledge the co-sponsor of this 
meeting, Margit Smith, chair of the Preservation Education and 
Outreach DG, for all her efforts in planning and organizing this 
joint session. I have been able to get settled in here at Tulane much 
more easily, knowing she had this meeting well under control. Thanks, 
Margit!
