The future is here.  Well more or less!  The new SLA Virtual Annual
Conference web site is up and running at WWW.sla.org.  Click on
"Conference and Meetings", then 1999 Conference.  You need adobe to
use the schedule planner, but that can be downloaded free if you need
it.  You will need  a user name and password, then you can access
information by event, time, SLA unit, etc.  The system is very word
specific.  If you enter "Field Trip" you will not find the SLA G&M
Thursday event listed.  You will find it by entering "excursion".  If
you would like a paper copy of the preliminary program, they are still
available to members at: Special Libraries Association
                                        Annual Conference Registration
                                        PO Box 75338
                                        Baltimore, MD  21275
 
The "Early Bird" Registration deadline had been extended to May 1st
due to delays by the US Postal Service in delivering the paper copies.
 
So if you have not renewed or have been thinking of joining SLA, now
is the time to save money by joining and getting the best rate for the
conference in Minneapolis.  This promises to be a major event, given
the location and time of year.  Become a "Knowledge Leader for the
New Millennium" and come away with bags of useful materials from the
best library exhibition in the field.  (Many jealous comments from
those who attended the other library meeting through the years have
attested to the last statement!)  What at you waiting for?  Join now
and have input toward the 2000 Philadelphia Conference and 2001 San
Antonio Conference, the 60th Anniversary of the Geography and Map
Division!
