Subject: Announcement of SLA Natural History Caucus Reflector

The Special Libraries Association Natural History Caucus is pleased to
announce the establishment of an electronic discussion list focusing on
issues related to natural history librarianship and natural history
libraries.  The Natural History Caucus Reflector is based at the
California Academy of Sciences and is open to both Caucus members and any
other interested persons.  To be included in the reflector mailings,
please send your name and email address to Adam Schiff, Associate
Librarian for Technical Services, California Academy of Sciences:

reflector address: NHC-SLA@cas.calacademy.org.

The Natural History Caucus of the Special Libraries Association was formed
in 1991 and meets annually at the SLA conference.  The Caucus
sponsors or co-sponsors programs and field trips at SLA conferences, fosters
networking among natural history librarians, and is currently
involved in planning a cooperative resource sharing project using
OCLC's Group Access Capability.  Future ventures may include union
list of library collections, cooperative collection development
ventures, directories of natural history libraries and
institutions, and other projects.
