This announcement is being cross-posted to several lists.  We apologize
for the duplication.

The New England Technical Services Librarians (NETSL) will hold their
Spring Conference, on Friday, April 17, 1998, at the College of the Holy
Cross, Worcester, MA.

The theme of this year is: Technical Services in a Changing Environment:
Opportunities for Innovation.

As our libraries initiate organizational changes to keep pace with a
rapidly and dramatically changing environment, Technical Services staff
are rethinking their roles. The Conference will explore the challenges and
opportunities provided by this transformation process.

Herbert S. White, Distinguished Professor and Dean Emeritus, Indiana
University, SLIS, will speak in the morning.  Breakout sessions will
follow.  The afternoon will include a presentation by Christina Bellinger,
University of New Hampshire, on Conflict Management; and by Mary Elizabeth
Clack, Harvard University, on the Learning Organization.

Registration is $40 for NELA/NETSL members, $50 for nonmembers and $20 for
full-time library school students.

For more information contact Cynthia Spell, NETSL, Vice-President/
President-Elect.
