PLA Tech Notes: Interactive Reference and Wireless

[GraceAnne A. DeCandido]

January 9, 2001
Dear online colleagues,
For the past two years, I have been working with the 
Public Library Association to produce 1500-word, web-
published documents on various technical topics 
ranging from metadata to filtering to intranets. There 
are now twelve of these Tech Notes, and they are 
available at http://www.pla.org/technoteindex.html.

I am about to revise the Wireless Tech Note, 
http://www.pla.org/technotes/wireless.html to reflect 
new standards and wider usage. I will also be writing a 
new Tech Note on Interactive Reference, comprising 
email reference, web-based reference, and Live Chat 
usage, although that topic may be narrowed down 
somewhat, given the proliferation of writing currently 
on that subject.

Many of you, like me, will be going off the ALA 
Midwinter shortly. My deadline for these projects is late 
February, so I wanted to get the word out as soon as 
possible before ALA. If you have ideas, requests, input, 
citations, or anything else you would like to contribute 
on these two topics, I would welcome hearing from you.

GraceAnne
