==> ALCTS  Creative Ideas in Technical Services Discussion Group <==

       The Creative Ideas in Technical Services Discussion Group
           invites ALA New Orleans conference participants
          to join us for facilitated roundtable discussions
                   on one of four timely topics:

        1. Changing roles and relationships between paraprofessional
            and professional staff

        2. Keeping long-term employees charged, motivated, and
            enthusiastic in a rapidly changing environment

        3. Merging acquisitions and copy-cataloging processes

        4. Relationships between public and technical services

 The Creative Ideas in Technical Services Discussion Group is

 conference were the most-requested topics suggested at the 1997 Annual
 Conference.  Participants are encouraged to suggest topics for future
 discussion group sessions.
