You Can Help Plan the 1995 Federal Depository Conference
The 1994 Federal Depository Conference has been called "the
best", "the most useful", "most varied and comprehensive", etc.,
continuing education program that many documents librarians have
ever attended. This success was due in large part to the
participation by practicing documents librarians in creating the
agenda of topics, identifying speakers, and serving as
coordinators for the Conference.
Once again, the Library Programs Service (LPS) is seeking
volunteers from the depository community to serve as coordinators
to identify topics and speakers for concurrent programs for the
1995 Federal Depository Conference. The few suggestions already
received include the following:
. agency demonstrations of their electronic products.
Specific agency speakers and products need to be
suggested.
. panel discussion on providing public access to the
Federal Bulletin Board and GPO WAIS. Volunteers from
various types of libraries to cover service policies
and technical aspects [direct or modem Internet access,
hardware and software, etc.] are required.
. international material in the Federal documents
collection, e.g. population sources, international
trade, and health issues.
. panel discussion with several agencies and their
documents librarian liaison.
More ideas are needed to create a conference as successful as the
1994 Federal Depository Conference. The 1995 conference,
regional meeting, and Depository Library Council will be held in
the Washington, DC metro area during the week of April 10-14,
1995.
If you would like to volunteer as a speaker, program coordinator,
or serve as an "electronics" technical assistant, please contact
