Publishers, librarians, and vendors attending the ALA Annual Conference are encouraged to participate in the discussions at these meetings. Carried out approximately once each decade, the AAP/ALCTS Library Marketing Survey provides librarians, publishers, and vendors with a better understanding of the market as a whole and clearer insight into each others' needs. The survey was first conducted in 1975, and again in 1987. The new survey will be the subject of an all-day program at ALA 1998, and will reflect changes in the past decade and the effect of new technologies on the way we do business. Both meetings will be held at the San Francisco Marriott from 2-4 in Suite Golden Gate C-3 on June 29, and Suite Pacific B on June 30. For additional information, contact Karen Kelly, AAP/New York at 212-255-0200, ext. 229. ************ COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE TO DISCUSS MODELS The various models for organizing collection development in libraries have each their advantages and disadvantages. All persons interested are invited to discuss these with members of the Administration of Collection Development Committee and others working on a Guide to Organization for Collection Development and Management at the committee meeting on Monday, June 30, 2-4, at the Holiday Inn Union Square, S. The topic will be briefly introduced by the following speakers who will describe the two basic models, decentralized and centralized, respectively: Chris Filstrup, Associate Director for Collection Management, Organization, and Preservation at North Carolina State University and John Haar, Assistant Director for Collections at Vanderbilt University.
