[PADG:1709] ALA--ALCTS President's Program

["Sue Davis" <Daviss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been asked to share this with PADG:

********************************************************************* 
 The ALCTS President's Program at the ALA Annual Conference will take 
place on Monday, June 17, from 10:00-12:00 in the Capitol North and 
Center Ballrooms of the Sheraton Atlanta Hotel.  The program will 
follow  the ALCTS Awards Presentation and Membership Meeting, which 
begins at 9:30.  

The program is entitled "Cultivating the Human Moment in a Digital 
Age."   Our featured speaker is Dr. Edward Hallowell, Child and Adult 
Psychiatrist at the Hallowell Center for Cognitive and Emotional 
Health and an expert in the field of psychological and emotional well-
being.  He has described how electronic communication limits 
workplace opportunities for "the human moment," face-to-face contact 
that brings valuable social and psychological benefits.  Can we find 
ways to promote efficient and productive communication while 
preserving human moments?  

Four librarians will relate Dr. Hallowell's remarks to the library 
working environment:   

*Michael Gorman (Dean of Library Services, California State 
University, Fresno)  

*Olivia Madison (Dean of Library Services, Iowa State University

*DeEtta Jones (Director, Organizational Learning Services, 
Association of Research Libraries)  

*Andrew Dillon (Dean, Graduate School of Library and Information 
Science, University of Texas)   

ALCTS thanks Elsevier Science and Kluwer Academic Publishers for 
sponsoring the President's Program.
