Dear SERIALSTers:

It is not too early to begin making plans to attend the meeting of the
OCLC Union List User's Group (OULUG) at the ALA Midwinter Meeting in
San Antonio in January 1996. At the moment the time slot for the OULUG
meeting is Monday, January 22, 10:30-11:30. A location will not be
determined until after December 12. As with most ALA meetings, dates,
times and locations are subject to change, so be sure to double-check
the conference program and COGNOTES to confirm locations, dates, and
times. The tentative program (also subject to change) appears below:
