Organising NLS: Strategies and Stratagems

****Announcing the 2nd nls-forum guest speaker **** 

The NetLinkS project is pleased to announce the second event in a
programme of discussions led by "guest speakers".  Due to popular
demand, these discussions will be a regular feature of our discussion
list - nls-forum - and we would like to invite you to take part. 

We are delighted to give you advance notice of the second one in our
series.  Andrew Green, Librarian at the University of Swansea, has
very generously offered to lead a discussion for a period of 3 weeks
from next Monday (27th January) on the topic of "Organising NLS:
Strategies and Stratagems."  We're sure Andrew will be raising some
challenging, not to say thorny, issues and we hope many of you will be
keen to join in to share experience and views. So we hope you'll make
the 27th a date for your virtual diaries :-)

Those of you who didn't participate in our first "conference" - an
excellent discussion led by Sheila Creth on reference services in
cyberspace - will find it archived on the NetLinkS Web site:

Council of England, as part of its Electronic Libraries
programme.

and the Librarian's face rose slowly into view like an 
early-morning coconut. 'Ook,' he said." Terry Pratchett.
