The Online Bibliographic Services SIS, in cooperation
with the Technical Services, Research Instruction and Patron
Services, and Computing Services SISs, invites you to join us at the
TS/OBS/RIPS/CS-SIS Joint Reception, Saturday evening in Anaheim.
This will be one of your first opportunities to see old AALL friends,
before the conference really gets rolling along.
OBS will present three programs in Anaheim; all three are
a little out of the ordinary, and we hope you will find some of them
appealing and useful. We will be focusing on digital storage,
library desktops, and evaluating web sites. On Sunday morning, Claire
Germain and Rubens Medina will review some important questions
relating to long-term digital storage in "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow?
The Archivability of Electronic Records." Monday morning, Randy
Diamond, Thomas Fleming, and Sarah Wiant will envision "The Desktop
of the Future," and address some of the nagging issues that come as
standard equipment. Immediately following, in "Cobweb Site or Web of
gold? How to Evaluate Sites on the Internet," Jeanne Rehberg,
Michelle Finerty, Mirela Roznovschi, and Kenneth Rudolf will examine
criteria for electronic information acquisitions, and strategies for
policy development and implementation.

Saturday, 4-6:00 p.m., 1997-98 Board Meeting
Sunday, 12:15-1:30 p.m., TS/OBS Research Roundtable
