Subject: Creative Ideas in Technical Services--Call for Volunteers

ALCTS Creative Ideas in Technical Services Discussion Group will meet from
4:30-5:30 PM on
Suday, June 27th at the Convention Center.  The topics for this meeting are:

1.  Continuing education and training for all technical services staff.
2.  Coping with personnel issues resulting from reorganization.
3.  How to handle electronic journals.
4.  Keeping long-term employees charged up and interested.
5.  Relationship between public and technical services.

We still need volunteers to be recorders and facilitators for each topic.

If you don't want to volunteer, be sure to attend if you can.  The discussions
are always interesting.  The co-chairs for 2001 will be selected at this
meeting.

For those who couldn't attend Midwinter, but were interested in the topics,
the
minutes from Midwinter are posted on the discussion group's Web site.  Since
this is going to multiple electronic lists, I apologize for any duplication.

We hope to see many of you at the discussion group in New Orleans at ALA.
