LITA Forum write-up for ISQ
Hey everyone,
NISO’s Information Standards Quarterly is looking for someone to do a conference write-up for the LITA Forum that starts on Friday. This is a great opportunity for someone wanting to break into writing for the profession, but I would urge all new, aspiring, and experienced writers to consider the opportunity. I will be at the Forum myself and am happy to give $5 worth of free advice on the process. NISO shares so much with LITA…If you’re going to Forum anyway, please think about doing the write-up for NISO! Let me (pacea@oclc.org) or Cynthia Hodgson (hodgsonca@verizon.net)know if you are interested.
Thanks,
Andrew
P.S. If you have not seen the new layout and design of ISQ, I urge you to go find one. It’s like night and day compared to the old “newsletter” format!

resource linking, preservation, maintenance, web services
9. Authentication and Authorization: Digital Rights Management

11. Technology Management: project management, geek management,
budgeting, knowledge sharing applications

approximately 75 minutes in length. Forum 2008 will also accept a
limited number of poster session proposals. Presenters are required to
submit handouts one month in advance for the Forum notebook, and
handouts will be made available on the Web site after the event.
