          Please excuse the duplication.

                           Call For Papers
                    Special Libraries Association
                   Annual Conference, Atlanta 1994

          The theme for the 1994 SLA Conference is "Information
          Vision."  In keeping with that general theme, the Biological
          Sciences Division is planning a contributed paper session in
          the area of collection management--"Visioning Our
          Collections."  How is collection development and management
          changing with the rapidly changing patterns of publishing
          (print and electronic), costs of serials, and ownership vs.
          access in life sciences collections?  Here is your
          opportunity to tell your colleagues how your collections are
          changing, how you are measuring what your clientele's
          information needs are, and how you are meeting these needs,
          or even what philosophical (and controversial) thoughts you
          may have as to the role of access in lieu of ownership in
          your collections.

          Guidelines for contributions should follow those outlined
          for the general conference contributed papers:

          Abstract:  A 250-500 word abstract, accurately conveying the
          subject of the paper, its scope, conclusions, and relevance
          to the program theme.

          Text:  The complete text of the papers is due to the program
          coordinators by March 31, 1994.

          Length: Paper presentation should take approximately 20
          minutes.

          Acceptance:  Papers will be accepted only if the abstract
          has been submitted for evaluation by the deadline: September
          1, 1993.  Submit abstracts to:
