spring as we visit the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.  The
conference will be held May 19-22, 2005 at the Minneapolis (downtown)
Hilton. Both the Conference Planning and Program Planning Committees have
been hard at work since last June preparing a 20th anniversary conference
that will be of great interest to all members of the serials information
chain.

Details will be added to the Conference's website

details of a special fare arrangement as well as registration and hotel
prices will be announced soon.
