The OVGTSL Program Planning Committee invites proposals for presentations.

        The significant, substantial, and rapid change required of many
corporations, institutions, and organizations has generated the phrase
"nanosecond nineties."  Libraries too, in response to the computer, the
internet, and many other influences have changed significantly in recent
years.  In some libraries, technical services is now quite different and
many librarians expect continuing change.  For the 1999 conference,
Library Technical Services is..., we want to know how has technical
services changed.  What new responsibilities do technical services
librarians and staff have?  What new technical services programs or
projects have been developed?  How are technical services librarians
planning for and preparing for continuing change?
