Mark your calendars for Online Northwest 2000, a full-day conference on information technology in libraries, to be held on Friday, February 4th at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Portland, Oregon.

The 17th annual meeting of Online Northwest will feature demonstrations, workshops, and discussion on such topics as distance education delivery, public workstation access policies and Internet filtering, virtual reference service, and interface evaluation for websites and databases.

Sponsored by the Oregon University System's Interinstitutional Library Council, Online Northwest offers a rich selection of programs for library staff and managers, information systems professionals and educators. Vendor exhibits, conversation with colleagues, and great doorprizes are also part of the day.

The Online Northwest webpage offers a preview of the conference. A call for papers was issued in August and pre-registration will begin in December. More information is available from Cheryl Fischer.

PRELIMINARY CALL FOR:
"A Plethora of Possibilities: Posters, Papers, & Presentations"

The theme for this MCMLA annual meeting might suggest that when librarians do the impossible, pigs can fly. This may be true in some cases, but what the theme really means is, that magic happens every day in libraries - we are constantly doing the impossible. This call for participation is an opportunity for you to share the impossible things you have been doing in your library.

The 2000 MCMLA Program Planning Committee invites you to submit a paper, poster or presentation proposal for this conference. We want to make sharing as easy as possible by multiplying your options for sharing - with three options, there is bound to be an approach that suits your style.

The submission deadline is March 1, 2000. More information will follow on the MCMLA electronic list as well as on the web site, on how and where to submit your proposals.

For advance questions, please contact Catherine Reiter or by phone at: 303/315-6444.  If you are interested in receiving publicity about the conference, please email Lynne Fox (Registration Chair) and we'll add you to our mailing list.

The program planning committee is putting the final touches on the preliminary program. Committee members are Loretta Andress, Marcia Colson, Anne Girling, Donna Hudson, Doreen Smith, Barbara Sokolov and Kathy Murray, Program Chair.  A web version of the program schedule and information about speakers will be available in the next month or two.  

 

For those who like need some material for advance planning, may I suggest a visit to the Anchorage Convention and Visitors Bureau? Choose "Plan a Trip" and then "Visitors Guide". By entering your mailing address, a free "book" will be mailed directly to you. This web site also hosts changing links for activites and attractions in and around Anchorage. Considering they include the Alaska SeaLife Center which is 2.5 hours drive south in Seward, this is a good starting place for possible side trips during your Alaska visit.
