Attention Preservation and Collection Development Professionals!  
If you are going to be in San Francisco for the American Library
Association's Annual Meeting, plan on attending the Association for
Library Collections and Technical Services' (ALCTS) Program, "We Are Not
Alone: International Preservation Microfilming Initiatives in the 90's"
and learn about preservation microfilming activities abroad.  This
program, sponsored by the Preservation & Reformatting Section's (PARS)
Reformatting Committee, is scheduled for Saturday, June 28th, 9:30 am -
12:30pm (Moscone Convention Center, Meeting Room # 132), at ALA Annual
Meeting in San Francisco.
Speakers include Dan Hazen, Librarian for Latin America, Spain, and
Portugal at Harvard College Library, who will cover activities in Latin
America, as well as efforts based outside of the region but focused on
Latin American resources. James Nye, Bibliographer for Southern Asia at
the University of Chicago, will highlight what he has learned about
filming in developing countries during the past ten years and ten
preservation projects focused on India and Pakistan. Hans Rutimann,
International Program Officer of the Commission on Preservation and
Access (CPA), will provide an overview of the Commission's international
program and offer examples of microfilming projects in Western Europe.
He will discuss international efforts to create registers of microform
masters and the perspective, especially in developing countries, of
microfilming in light of digital technology's promise.  Abby Smith,
Assistant to the Associate Librarian of of Congress, will discuss the
preservation microfilming scene in Eastern Europe, as well as the
Library of Congress' six overseas filming operations.
