Greetings,

I have seen lots of great programs like the one below advertised for ALA
Washington. My time commitments do not allow me to attend this year, but
it would be great to be able to participate virtually through other
means.

I know that the ALA Washington Office has a presence in SecondLife.  So,
if we have already put resources into that medium, would it be possible
to try to broadcast at least a few of the meetings devoted to high level
technology?  I am sure that there are many other ALA members who would
like to see at least a tiny percentage of our dues go towards real-time
networked information delivery of the proceedings.

LITA Next Generation Catalog Interest Group - Meeting at ALA Annual

The LITA Next Generation Catalog Interest Group (NGCIG) will hold its
inaugural meeting at the ALA Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, on
Saturday, June 23, from 1:30 to 3:30 in the Madison Hotel Montpelier
Salon I.  We will have a managed discussion featuring presentations on
three libraries' approaches to next generation catalogs:

  Don Barlow, Westerville Public Library, will discuss their work
  with Innovative's Encore product

  Dale Poulter, Vanderbilt University, will discuss their work with
  Ex Libris' Primo

  Steve Shadle, University of Washington, will discuss their
  implementation of OCLC's WorldCat Local


LITA IG meetings are open to all ALA attendees (and for non-attendees,
we already have a couple of bloggers lined up).  Since this is a
discussion and not a formal program, we're relying on you to show up
with questions and input.
