 SECOND TRANSBORDER LIBRARY FORUM/FORO BINACIONAL DE BIBLIOTECAS
 ANNOUNCED FOR MARCH 20-21, 1992 IN HERMOSILLO, MEXICO

 The Second Transborder Library Forum will be held on Friday and Saturday,
 March 20-21, 1992 in Hermosillo, Mexico.  All interested librarians and others
 are encouraged to attend.  The objective of this meeting is to create an
 atmosphere for networking and information-sharing among library professionals
 and staff from the U.S. and Mexico, and to make recommendations for improving
 joint international activities, projects and exchanges.  An additional
 emphasis will be the impact of the Free Trade Agreement.

 The conference will have four keynote speakers addressing several themes of
 interest to librarians: the role of professional associations in international
 exchange relations, the process of enrichment of our multicultural
 sensibilities, international exchange possibilities between Mexico and the
 U.S., and the U.S.-Mexico Free Trade Agreement and its impact on the Mexican
 publishing industry.  The speakers include:  Dr. Jesus Lau Noriega (Instituto
 Tecnologico de Durango), Sheila Milam (University of Nevada, Reno), Margarita
 Almada de Asencio (CICH-UNAM), Robert Seal (University of Texas at El Paso),
 Surya Peniche de Sanchez McGregor (President of AMBAC), and Alfredo Verdugo
 (President of CNB).

 Discussion table themes include:  international librarianship and exchanges,
 resource sharing, marketing of libraries, preservation and conservation,
 shared cataloging, library education, new information technology, collection
 development for linguistic minorities, rural librarianship and strategic
 planning.

 This Forum is co-sponsored by five professional organizations:  the Asociacion
 Sonorense de Bibliotecarios, A.C./Sonoran Librarians Association with the
 Arizona State Library Association, the American Library Association, U.S.
 Mexico Committee, the Asociacion Mexicana de Bibliotecarios/Mexican Librarians
 Association, and the Colegio Nacional de Bibliotecarios/National Librarians
 College.

 The conference proceedings from the 1991 conference, held in Nogales, Arizona,
 have been published by ASLA and will be available at the second Forum.
