----------------------------Original message---------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS for the Geography & Map Division Special Libraries Association 85th Annual Conference Atlanta, Georgia June 11-16, 1994 CONFERENCE THEME: Information Vision The challenges of the 21st century are beginning to crystalize and it is now time for information professionals to develop and implement an information vision that will enable them to be full-fledged participants in the future. It is hoped that by developing this "Information Vision", you will see not only applicable uses but the means to develop those uses to do day to day operations, strategic planning, and your own professional development. As the Program Planner for the 1994 Annual Conference in Atlanta, I am welcoming papers that develop the conference theme and/or relate to the Southeastern region of the United States. In particular, papers on organizing and using metadata in the map library; new and/or unusual uses of GIS products in or through the map library or map librarian; and necessary skills for map librarians in the near future would be most inviting. Suggestions about topics for presentations or papers, sites to tour, and special activities in and around the Atlanta area are most welcome and needed. Papers may be of any length, however, presentations on the paper's topic is restricted to 20 minutes. Please include a one-page abstract of proposed papers by October 15, 1993. You will be notified of your paper's acceptance no later that October 30, 1993. Send all proposals, ideas, suggestions, or information requests to: Mr. Paige G.
