Call for Spring ALAO TSIG Program Session Proposals

Call for Spring ALAO TSIG Program Session Proposals

Jody Perkins and Margaret Maurer are planning the 2006 Spring ALAO Technical Services Interest Group meeting. We want to provide a program that focuses on state-of-the-art technical services in the areas of preservation, cataloging, acquisitions and serials. Ideally we would offer four one-hour sessions with one session on each of these topics. We are looking for presenters that can provide information on trends and changes in technical services librarianship. Are you or is your library doing something new or different that warrants sharing with your fellow TS librarians? What’s the latest and greatest in technical services librarianship?
This one-day conference will be scheduled for late in the spring. As we have not yet determined where to hold the conference, or exactly when, we have decided to try to accommodate the speakers’ schedules and locations during the planning process. Presenters will also receive free registration for the conference.

To propose a session, please email a brief proposal to Margaret Maurer (Kent State University Libraries and Media Services) at mbmaurer@kent.edu by Friday November 18, 2005. Please include phone numbers and email addresses for all speakers referenced in your proposal.
