Subject: Discussion Group Meeting Announcement

SEARCHING FOR GOLD IN THE CARIBBEAN: USING THE INTERNET TO FIND WAYWARD
GEMS  

The ALCTS Out-of-Print Discussion Group (OPDG) invites you to attend
this 
year's discussion at ALA-Annual in Orlando, featuring bookseller Michael

Slicker from Lighthouse Books (in St. Petersburg, FL) who will present 
techniques and strategies for filling international collection gaps.
Mr. 
Slicker has deep experience helping libraries source hard-to-find
materials 
from the region, and will share booksellers' secrets to finding bargains

and rarities online.   

Here's hoping your schedule permits:  

DATE -- Sunday, June 28 
TIME -- 9:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. 
ROOM -- Orange County Convention Center, Room 311 D  

In addition, we'd like to conduct some (very) brief DG business, where
we 
will solicit names and/or nominations for incoming vice-chair of the
OPDG, 
and ideas for future discussions, in an effort to keep these kinds of 
timely topics on the agenda at every ALA.   

Meanwhile, please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.  

Best Regards, 
--Bill Kane (outgoing OPDG chair), Alibris for Libraries,

--Lia Hemphill (vice-chair, incoming chair), Nova Southeastern Univ,
