Re: ALA ALCTS Acquisition Section Program Announcement (Wendy Hope Riedel) Edward Bergin 07 Jun 2002 18:34 UTC
Will there be any minutes of this discussion group recorded? I will not be attending ALA in Atlanta. But as a DRA site, we might find ourselves in a situation where we need to migrate and would be addressing these same issues. Thanks for any help!
