Schedule for LC Booth Presentations for American Library Association Conference

[danna bell-russel]

Good afternoon,

This announcement is being sent to a number of lists. Please accept our
apologies for any duplicate postings. 

Washington, DC is the site for the American Library Association
Mid-Winter conference from January 12-17. Though most of the conference
will focus on committee meetings (including the ones to select the
Newbery and Caldecott award winners), the conference will have an
extensive exhibition area including information on the newest
technology, the latest publications and other new products and services
from a variety of vendors. There is a small fee to access the ALA
exhibits. For further information visit the ALA website at
<http://www.ala.org/events/mw2001/>

The Library of Congress will have a booth in the exhibit hall and will
provide a series of demonstrations highlighting library services and
activities. Included will be demonstrations of American Memory and the
revamped Learning Page, the Collaborative Digital Reference Service, the
services provided by the Cataloging Distribution Service including a
demonstration of the Cataloger's Desktop, and presentations on the
issues involved in the development of the Library's digital library
presence and the digitizing projects taking place in the Library. A
complete list of all in-booth presentations is listed below.  We hope
that you will come and visit at booth 1628 and learn more about our
services and how we can help you. Please direct any questions to Linda
White, LC Booth Coordinator, at lwhi at loc.gov.

Thank you.
