NETSL CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT

Registration is now open for the New England 
Technical Services Librarians’ 2008 Spring Conference:

Cohabiting and Colliding: Print and Electronic Resources
Friday, April 4, 2008
College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, MA

The increasing presence of digital resources and 
new modes of access are driving changes in 
technical services­changes in standards, in 
workflow, organizational structure, and staff 
allocation. Please join us to examine some the 
implications of these changes and some strategies 
for adaptation as technical services departments 
face the management challenges posed by this ongoing shift.
