SEARCHING FOR GOLD IN THE CARIBBEAN: USING THE INTERNET TO FIND
WAYWARD GEMS
The ALCTS Out-of-Print Discussion Group (OPDG) invites you to attend
this year's discussion at ALA-Annual in Orlando, featuring bookseller
Michael Slicker from Lighthouse Books (in St. Petersburg, FL) who will
present techniques and strategies for filling international collection
gaps. Mr. Slicker has deep experience helping libraries source
hard-to-find materials from the region, and will share booksellers'
secrets to finding bargains and rarities online.
Here's hoping your schedule permits:
DATE -- Sunday, June 28
TIME -- 9:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
ROOM -- Orange County Convention Center, Room 311 D
In addition, we'd like to conduct some (very) brief DG business, where
we will solicit names and/or nominations for incoming vice-chair of
the OPDG, and ideas for future discussions, in an effort to keep these
kinds of timely topics on the agenda at every ALA.
Meanwhile, please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Best Regards,
