>This is a one-time-only joint meeting of the discussion groups mentioned
>above since the subject is of wide interest.
>
>To follow up on the topic of Web pages for preservation departments, which
>has been discussed for the past three ALA meetings, the PARS Preservation
>Education and Outreach Discussion Group will organize a presentation by
>representatives from SOLINET dealing with a look at the Internet as a
>virtual resource for preservation information. This presentation will
>provide a valuable look at the increasingly important resources that can be
>found on the Internet, such as institutional Web sites, full-text
>publications, form discussion groups and newsletters, and sources for
>supplies and services.  The session will include handouts and
>demonstrations of current resources, and time will be made for discussion,
>questions, and hopefully, answers.
>
>If time allows, further discussion will center on various means of making
>preservation information available to institutions, such as small
>historical societies, and school libraries, which do not have Internet
>access.
>
>The meeting will conclude with election of a new Preservation Education
>and Outreach Discussion Group Chair, Peter Verheyen having volunteered
>for this position, but the call will go out for nominations from the floor
>for the Chair, as well as a Co-Chair.
>
>Please contact me if there are questions you would like to have answered.
