     ACRL, a division of the American Library Association, invites you to 
     submit a proposal by January 6, for a roundtable discussions at its 
     9th National Conference, "Racing Toward Tomorrow," in Detroit, April 
     8-11, 1999. 
     
     Volunteers are needed to identify and develop a topic relevant to 
     academic librarianship and higher education and facilitate a 
     discussion during the sessions at Conference. One hundred topics will 
     be selected for discussion.
     
     Sample topics include but are in no way limited to: outcomes 
     assessment, digitization of materials, information literacy, 
     government information, funding, leadership, and electronic reserves.
     
     Consider topics that would fit into one of the conference theme 
     tracks:
     
     Acquiring New Knowledge Skills
     Alternative Institutions and Providers Developing Alternate Resources 
     Emerging Roles for Librarians
     Partnering for Effective Service
     21st Century Learners
     
     Join the discussion as we focus on the challenges and opportunities 
     facing academic librarians at ACRL's  9th  National Conference.
     
     Small, informal group discussions will give attendees the opportunity 
     to network, share information, and solve common problems.  
     
     The deadline to submit your topic ideas is January 6, 1999.  Send your 
     ideas (a completed program application is not necessary) to:
