Subject: Call for volunteers: ALCTS Creative Ideas DG at ALA midwinter

The ALCTS Creative Ideas in Technical Services Discussion Group will
hold its ALA Midwinter Meeting in San Antonio, TX as follows: Sunday,
January 22, 2006, 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. at the Hilton Palacio Del Rio, Room
Del Rey South. Participants can choose from the seven topics listed
below.  The chair and vice-chair will also provide a list of
sub-topics at the meeting to serve as discussion guide for each topic.

This year's chair is Kalyani Parthasarathy, University of New Orleans
and vice-chair/chair-elect is Carla Davis Cunningham, Temple
University.

VOLUNTEER FACILITATOR AND RECORDERS SOUGHT:  We need volunteers to
facilitate and record the discussions at each topic table.  If you
would like to facilitate or record, please send your information to
Kalyani Parthasarathy at kparthas_at_uno.edu.  Indicate all the topics
you would be willing to facilitate or record.  We would appreciate
flexibility on your part as we finalize the assignments.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF VOLUNTEERS:  FACILITATORS guide the discussion on
the topics at their tables, making sure everyone participates, and
keeps it within the allotted time.  RECORDERS take notes during
discussions and send a written report to the chair soon after the
conference is over. These reports form the basis for the report the
chair sends to ALCTS. A written summary report is also sent to the
Technical Services Quarterly.

At the end of the discussion, each table will give a short oral report
for the benefit of all attendees. The facilitator and the recorder can
decide who would do the oral report.

The discussion topics are:
1. Acquisitions Functions
2. Authority Control in the Cataloging Workflow
3. Disaster Preparedness in Technical Services
4. MARC Records for E-Journals
5. Planning for System Downtime in Technical Services
6. Serials Check-in and Binding
7. Shifting Journal Subscriptions from Print to Electronic Format
