YOU CAN HELP PLAN THE 1999 FEDERAL DEPOSITORY CONFERENCE

Once again, the Library Programs Service is seeking assistance from the
depository community to identify topics, potential agencies, speakers,
and information products for the 1999 Federal Depository Conference.

The participants in the 1998 Federal Depository Conference placed the
highest value on the Federal agency presentations, especially the latest
information on their electronic products and services.  The one-hour
orientation to the Conference/Council on Sunday afternoon and the
three-hour brainstorming session with experienced documents librarians
and GPO staff on Monday afternoon were hits as well.  Hints on writing
the self-study, Documents Data Miner, depository management, and tours
were very popular.

Your ideas are needed to create another successful Federal Depository
Conference.  The 1999 conference, regional meeting, and Depository
Library Council will be held in a hotel in the Washington, DC metro area
during the week of April 12-15, 1999.

If you would like to volunteer as a speaker or can identify potential
speakers or topics, please contact Sheila McGarr by telephone on (202)
512-1119; by fax on (202) 512-1432; or by e-mail on smcgarr@gpo.gov no
later than October 30.
