NETSL CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT

Registration is now open for the New England Technical Services 
Librarians’ 2008 Spring Conference:

Cohabiting and Colliding: Print and Electronic Resources
Friday, April 4, 2008
College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, MA

The increasing presence of digital resources and new modes of access are 
driving changes in technical services -
changes in standards, in workflow, organizational structure, and staff 
allocation. Please join us to examine some
the implications of these changes and some strategies for adaptation as 
technical services departments face
the management challenges posed by this ongoing shift.
