[PADG:818] RE: PARS Discussion Group at ALA

Title: PARS Discussion Group at ALA

Hello Sarah,

 

I've mislaid the e-mail correspondence from a PARS person whose name I've forgotten (that's how the e-mail is mislaid...!). He had asked if I would be coming to ALA, which unfortunately I'm not. He was interested in hearing more about the Sibley Public Domain Request project, which has been rather taking over our selection rpocess, but I think to good results.

 

I had offered to send along a brief description of the project and its results so far, but didn't get around to it. I'm hoping that sending you a copy of the promised description will do the job in the end!

 

So here it is, attached. It's actually based on an article that Jim Farrington, our Head of Public Services, wrote for the September 2004 Muse as we were just starting the program -- but I've updated it, including my evaluation of how it's gone so far. If, as seems all too possible, you don't get this message until you're already in San Antonio, please do feel free to forward this message to anyone who wants it rather than printing out copies -- that way they can use the links easier anyhow. Hope it's useful!

 

And I hope it's a great discussion!
