Subject: Meeting Announcement

This message is being posted to multiple mailing lists. Please excuse any
duplication.

The ALCTS Creative Ideas in Technical Services Discussion Group will meet
at ALA Midwinter, Sunday, January 26, 2003, from 4:30-5:30 p.m.

This discussion group consists of round table discussions on various topics
with 8-10 people participating at each table. We seek volunteers to serve
as facilitators or recorders at each table.

FACILITATORS introduce the topic, ask persons to introduce themselves, keep
track of the meeting time, and, most importantly, keep the discussion
moving and ensure that all are able to participate.The co-chairs will
supply a list of questions for each topic that facilitators can use to keep
the discussion focused and moving. Facilitators may also incorporate their
own questions as well. Experience has shown that very few tables make it
through all the questions in the time provided.

RECORDERS participate in the discussion and take notes of the discussion
which will be forwarded to the co-chairs. The co-chairs will use the notes
to write a report which will be posted/published on the ALCTS Web site.
Facilitators and recorders will receive acknowledgement in the report.

Please contact Katia Roberto (kroberto_at_lib.siu.edu) by December 28 to
volunteer. If you have a preference as to topic or role (facilitator or
recorder), please include that preference in your email.
