> Group sponsored by ALCTS and RUSA will meet at the Midwinter

>
> How to begin centralized ordering.
>
> Collection analysis tools.
>
> Retail vs. library edition audio books.
>
> Language learning materials and databases such as Mango and Tell Me More.
>
> If you are interested in including one of these on the agenda, let us
> know prior to conference.
>
> Melissa and I are still open to other topics you may want to submit
> prior to conference. We will send out another reminder email January
> 19 with the final topics. As always we’ll set aside time to hear about
> new initiatives.
