Subject: [alctsleaders] Breaking Down the Silos E-forum on March 9 & 10

Please join the Association for Library Collections & Technical 
Services(ALCTS) for an e-forum discussion on Monday, March 9 and 
Tuesday, March 10, 2009. Although participation is free for ALCTS 
members and non-members alike, registration is required as noted below.

"Breaking Down the Silos: Planning for Discovery in Library 2.0" is a 
continuation of the discussion initiated at the ALCTS Symposium of the 
same name held at the 2009 ALA Midwinter Meeting in Denver. Several of 
the Symposium slide presentations are available at 
http://wikis.ala.org/midwinter2009/index.php/ALCTS

Libraries have collected a diverse set of resources which they have made 
available to their patrons. However, access to these resources have 
often been presented in separate silos without the capability of 
providing integrated access across them. A variety of discovery tool 
options are being implemented by libraries to deliver the information in 
a more focused and intuitive manner.

Share your own library's success stories, experiences, decisions, etc.! 
Ask questions of the 575 e-forum subscribers!

The two day session will be moderated by:

M. Dina Giambi, Assistant Director for Library Technical Services
University of Delaware Library

Kristin Antelman, Associate Director for the Digital Library
