The Digital Library Technologies Interest Group (DLTIG) will meet in Philadelphia: Sunday, January 13, 2008 from 10:30AM to 1:00 PM.
The meeting will include: 1) Discussion
of the upcoming DLTIG annual meeting
program in Anaheim, CA titled Institutional Repositories, Mass Digitization,
and Preservation; 2) a regular
business meeting; and 3) a Share
Online Stuff (SOS*) open
forum for participants to demonstrate innovative projects and
programs.
*SOS provides an open
forum for participants to share short demonstrations (5/10 minutes) of
innovative digital library projects and programs with attendees. In addition to
sharing new digital initiatives, we
hope this will spark discussion on program ideas for 2009 ALA annual
in Chicago.
If you would like to present at the DLTIG
meeting, please email descriptions and
titles of demonstrations to <richard.smith@xxxxxxxxxx>. We would like a
sense of how many are willing to share highlights of your library's digital projects or services with other ALA members.
