Speakers:
Frank D'Andraia
Director of Libraries

Come for a provocative discussion of the current and future roles
of Technical Services.  Frank D'Andraia will share his views of
what he expects from Technical Services.  Barbara Cervera will
comment on current realities, new workloads, planning goals, and
strategies to survive and prosper.  Frank and Barbara will
challenge the audience and each other to create a vital, positive
future for Technical Services.  Expect fireworks!

This discussion group has a strong history of audience
participation.  Please bring ideas of your realities and survival
strategies and share them in small group discussions following the
presentations.  That will enable all of us to take home many new
ideas and approaches.  We will report the small group outcomes as
well as the speakers' comments.

Technical Services managers and all others who are interested in
these issues are invited to join us for a lively discussion.
