At the meeting we discussed what sessions the LT group could sponsor for the
2005 conference and how we could promote the library technologies group to
other members of the organization. A summary of Ann Eagan's notes from the

If you have any other ideas or have an interest in leading any of the
sessions listed here please let us know ASAP. The proposals for technical
sessions and papers are due January 21 and should be about 2 pages in
length. I or any of the officers of SIG-LT would be happy to help you in any
way.

 

Publicity ideas:

 

*	At SIG Rush 2005, in the ASIST conference registration package, or
in the organizations welcoming kit - have something to give to individuals
telling them about the group: small screw driver, flyer, bookmark, etc. 
*	Create a monthly, bi-monthly newsletter or brochure 
*	Write a column for the Bulletin 

 

If you have any ideas or would like to help with anything please let us
know. The goal is to increase the opportunities available for the members of
the Libraries Technology group to participate in numerous ways. To do this,
we need your help and your ideas. Please do not hesitate to offer either.

 

Be on the lookout for the first SIG-LT bi-monthly newsletter in January of
2005. If you have anything you would like to include or would like to help
publish this newsletter please let me know.

 

Thank you for your support.
