Monday, October 15, 2007: 1:00 – 2:30 PM

What’s Going On at GPO? Technical Services for U.S. Government Documents.

activities and new projects of the Library Technical Information Services unit of the GPO. Focusing

program is relevant for all libraries that use U.S. government documents or would like to incorporate
them into their collections and reference services.

Tip Top Tech Training

Libraries are constantly changing and adding software, upgrading both software and hardware,
and finding new applications for existing programs. Teaching others to use these new additions
is a perpetual challenge. Dodie Gaudet from the Central MA Regional Library System explains
techniques and theories of training and incorporates audience participation in exercises and
discussion. Learn how to structure a training session, prepare handouts, accommodate different
learning styles, select methods of presentation and create an atmosphere conducive to learning.
NETSL’s annual business meeting and announcement of the 2007/2008 Board are included.

Tuesday, October 16, 2007: 11:00 AM – 12:00 noon

The Way Ahead: A Report from the Library of Congress Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control

NETSL presents Robert Wolven, Director of Library Systems and Bibliographic Control at Columbia University
in New York City and a member of the LC Working Group. He describes uses and users, structures and
standards, and economic and organizational factors that influence the ways in which we provide access to
library materials in the evolving information and technology environment. When the recommendations are
complete and presented to Congress, what changes should we expect, and how will they affect different
constituencies?
