Please be sure to pack the audiences for our ALL-SIS-sponsored programs at the annual meeting in New Orleans! Our educational offerings this year cover a broad range of topics of importance and interest, particularly for those of us in academia. Our exciting themes include outreach to groups outside the library, forecasting the future, developments in legal research, social responsibilities, scholarship, and technology innovations. We even have a full day workshop on the beauties of pod-casting. Also, please notice that this year, our special offerings of alternate programs that run concurrently with AMPC programs are prominently advertised in the preliminary annual meeting program under “Other Special Interest Section Educational Opportunities.” Pencil these into your schedule.
The Program Planning Committee reviewed many wonderful program proposals for this year’s meeting. Thank you to all those who submitted program offerings for 2007! It is never too early to begin thinking about program ideas for 2008, since the deadline for program submission closely follows the annual meeting. If you are interested in discussing ideas for new programs, please attend the ALL-SIS Program Committee meeting in New Orleans, on Monday, July 16, from 11:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
