Subject: OLAC Conference Deadline Extension

The deadline to register for the Online Audiovisual Catalogers (OLAC) 1998
Conference without penalty has been extended to September 30th.  The
registration fee for this conference is $100.00 for members, $110.00 for

professional education for catalogers.  And Charlotte has very pleasant
weather in autumn!
