Subject:      ALA Discussion Group--Medium Heads

I post this announcement to the Serials List because many of
our attendees are serial people.  Our group is NOT limited to
heads of Technical Services, and we encourage all who are interested
to attend.

  9:30-11:00 presentations   and 11:30-12:30 small group discussions

Come join us in a discussion of TEAM PERFORMANCE IN A TIME OF CHANGE
Presented by Paul Evan Peters, Executive Director of the
Coalition for Networked Information.

The discussion will include strategies for forming teams to tackle
problems and how to make the most effective use of these teams--
including developing the spirit of teamwork and encouraging group
problem solving.

Charles Finely, Assistant Chief, Social Sciences Cataloging Division
at the Library of Congress will also be giving us an update on
LC's new shelflisting project.

Small group discussions which will follow the presentations will give
you a chance to work with some of the teamwork skills discussed in
the first part of the program as we look at ways to use them to examine
real problems such as declining budgets, reorganizations, workflow
changes, etc.

                 IMPLICATIONS OF ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING
                    TO BE ADDRESSED IN NEW ORLEANS

    Views from a commercial scientific-technical-medical (STM) journal
publisher and a noted library educator will be presented at the
Electronic Publishing Discussion Group's meeting at the American
Library Association Annual Conference in New Orleans. EPDG, which is
part of the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
(ALCTS), is scheduled to meet 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., Sunday, June 27,
in the Room 13 of the New Orleans Convention Center.

    Bob Badger, manager of electronic media for Springer-Verlag Inc.
of New York, and Dr. S. Michael Malinconico, a professor in the School
of Library and Information Studies at the University of Alabama, will
present their ideas on "Electronic Publishing: The Implications for
Libraries and Librarians." Their talks follow up the discussion of
electronic publishing and proprietary obstacles set forth by Ann
Okerson at EPDG's Midwinter Conference meeting in Denver.

    Badger's work on the Red Sage Project, a collaborative effort
involving Springer, Bell Labs, and the University of California, San
Francisco, was featured in a March issue of the Chronicle of Higher
Education.  Malinconico, meanwhile, has written on the impact
technology is having on the preparation of current and future
librarians in such publications as the Journal of Education for
Library and Information Science (JELIS).

    The Badger-Malinconico talks are conceived as the first in a
series of viewpoints to be presented over the next two or three
ALA conferences. Tentative plans are being made for additional talks
from a variety of stakeholders, including representatives from the
university press, faculty, vendor and library communities.

    The New Orleans EPDG meeting will also see the election of a
vice-chair/chair-elect of the group. To submit nominations or for more
information about the meeting, please contact:
