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 Sheila McGarr by telephone on (202)512-1119; by fax on (202) 512- 1432; or by e-mail on <[log in to unmask]> no later than September 30.
