>at ALA Midwinter, Sunday, January 26, 2003, from 4:30-5:30 p.m.

>This discussion group consists of round table discussions on various topics
>with 8-10 people participating at each table. We seek volunteers to serve
>as facilitators or recorders at each table.
>
>FACILITATORS introduce the topic, ask persons to introduce themselves, keep
>track of the meeting time, and, most importantly, keep the discussion
>moving and ensure that all are able to participate.The co-chairs will
>supply a list of questions for each topic that facilitators can use to keep
>the discussion focused and moving. Facilitators may also incorporate their
>own questions as well. Experience has shown that very few tables make it
>through all the questions in the time provided.
>
>RECORDERS participate in the discussion and take notes of the discussion
>which will be forwarded to the co-chairs. The co-chairs will use the notes
>to write a report which will be posted/published on the ALCTS Web site.
>Facilitators and recorders will receive acknowledgement in the report.
>
>Please contact Katia Roberto (kroberto@lib.siu.edu) by December 28 to
