You'll find them in Minneapolis one month from today. (Pre-conference
workshops started already, CONELL starts a month from today, various
leadership training sessions start a month from today.)
As part of the Countdown to New Realities, New Roles, members of the 2001
Annual Meeting Program Committee will be posting a weekly message sharing
their schedules of program attendance with you. This week's "Where in the
World" message features AMPC member Cindy Spohr.
Technology and the changing roles of law librarians are of particular
interest to Cindy because of her work with law librarians in all types of
organizations. She has a behind the scenes view of the planning for the
Opening Reception and suggests that it is an event not to be missed!
Thursday and Friday, July 12 & 13
Teaching Research in Court and Agency Law Libraries (TRICALL). TRICALL
follows in the large footsteps of TRIPLL, AMPLL and TRIALL and is a unique,

may remember the very beginnings of this program, the Westfields Conference
in Washington, DC, which started the ball rolling.
