Subject: ACMLA 1999 Annual Conference and ICA
[please excuse cross-posting of this announcement]
MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW FOR THE ACMLA 1999 ANNUAL CONFERENCE
On behalf of the Association of Canadian Map Libraries and Archives
(ACMLA) and the Congress of Cartographic Information Specialists
Associations (CCISA) we would like to invite you to attend the
International Cartographic Association Conference which will be held
in Ottawa, August 14-21, 1999. The theme of the conference is "Touch
the Past, Visualize the Future". In addition to 4.5 days of technical
programs, there will be workshops, exhibits and a number of technical
tours. Over 225 papers on such topics as atlas cartography,
cartographic education and training, history of cartography, early
mapping of the Americas, map design, satellite mapping, new
technologies, plus many, many, more, will be presented during
concurrent sessions.
ACMLA will be contributing one day of the conference program
(Thursday, August 19) and has invited CCISA to convene a panel
discussion on the future of map libraries and strategies for survival
in the millenium. The preliminary ACMLA program is listed on
the web page (see below). Several social events are being planned.
It is a unique opportunity to participate in an international
conference and meet your cartographic colleagues from around the
world. As well, Ottawa, Canada's capital, has much to offer visitors
in the way of cultural and outdoor pursuits, especially during the
summer.
To take advantage of the early registration fee, ACMLA members
must register through ACMLA by APRIL 15, 1999. A registration
package will be sent to you in the mail in the next few weeks.
