[Web4lib] "The Next Evolution in OPAC's and Search Engines" - MARS Hot Topics at ALA Midwinter

[Mark Dehmlow]

Karen,

When possible, we post presentation on the MARS Hot Topics website:
http://www.ala.org/ala/rusa/rusaourassoc/rusasections/mars/marssection/marscomm/hottopics.htm

This will be dependent on presenters' willingness to let us post them 
there, but they usually do.

I would check back there a few weeks after ALA.

Regards,

Mark Dehmlow
