As Immediate Past PARS Chair, I
schedule the PARS Interest Groups/Discussion Groups within the ALA framework.
In doing so, I try to schedule around programs of interest to PARS members and
minimize doubling up of PARS IG/DGs. This was not really possible but I have
made a best effort. I thought I’d share what I believe
is lined up for the upcoming 2008 ALA conference. Please verify days and times
with official ALA conference program. Friday, 6/27/08 1:30-5:00 – Preservation
