This note is being posted to lists that reach reference and collection
development librarians to announce a second "town hall meeting" on the
"Guide" at Annual in San Francisco on Monday, June 18, beginning at 9:30
AM. Bob Kieft, General Editor of the 12th edition, will give a progress
report and raise questions about which ALA Editions would like advice.
Attendees will also have an opportunity to meet many of the contributors
and talk to them about their section. Please find full program information
at

Note that a list of discussion questions for the meeting is linked from
this page.
The Reference Publishing Advisory Committee of the Collection Development
and Evaluation Section of RUSA sponsored an open meeting at ALA's Midwinter
Conference on ALA Editions' "Guide to Reference Books" in order to give
collection development and reference librarians an opportunity to advise
the editorial staff and contributors about the shape and content of the
upcoming 12th edition. That meeting was successful and several librarians
who attended suggested that RPAC continue the discussion at Annual.
RPAC, Bob Kieft, and ALA Editions staff hope to see you there. Please also
see the GRB12 home page at http://www.haverford.edu/library/grb for further
information about the next edition.
Bob Kieft
General Editor
