Pat,

Yes, you are correct. You can only take one.  I can give you a little
more detail on the two courses.

The Electronic Serials course focuses on online journals and includes
sessions on cataloging, online versions, agggregations and packages, and
various case studies. The course has been very successful since its
release last April.

The Integrating resources course includes sessions on identifying IRs,
cataloging them, maintaining the records over time, and various special
problems.  It focuses on electronic IRs--Web sites and databases, but
also includes loose-leafs.  It will be brand new this spring, but I know
its going to be really excellent.

 From what I can tell from the registration materials, each session is
a
full day and they are all being offered on the same day so you have to
pick
one. Is this correct? I don't know which one to pick!  Any advice from
people who have attended one?
