[Sig-l] STI Proposed Programs for ASIST 2004

[Mark Needleman]

SIG-LT would definitely be interested in cosponsoring the Reference
Services and Metasearch programs - Im copying Gail Thornburg who is
chair of the standards committee on this since she wasn't in Long Beach
- I can probably help with speakers for the 2 sig-lt wants to cosponsor

Subject: [Sig-l] STI Proposed Programs for ASIST 2004


The following are the program ideas STI proposed for ASIST 2004.  These
are 
in somewhat raw form as some discussion did take place at the All SIG 
planning meeting so a few of the co-sponsors are more firm than 
indicated.  I would certainly appreciate hearing from other SIGs as to 
their interest in co-sponsoring any programs or any ideas for speakers
or 
formats.

Thanks,

Ann Eagan, Chair, STI
