[Mla-cds] Charleston Conference 2007: July 31 deadline

[Ramune Kubilius]

Dear colleagues,

The 27th annual Charleston Conference: Issues in 
Book and Serial Acquisition will take place 
November 7 – 10 in, as usual, lovely Charleston, SC.
The conference now draws about 1000 attendees 
annually, from the library, publishing, and 
library service vendor industry sectors.

The theme of the 2007 conference is "What Tangled 
Webs We Weave". If you are interested in leading 
a discussion, acting as a moderator, coordinating 
a lively lunch, or would like to make sure we 
discuss a particular topic, please let us know. 
Send ideas by July 31, 2007, by completing our 
<http://www.katina.info/conference/callforpapers.php>online 
form or contacting any of the 
<http://www.katina.info/conference/contact.php>Conference Directors.

For more information about the conference 
(including preconferences), already approved 
selections of topics & sessions, travelling 
scholarship opportunities, hotel information, etc., go to:

In 2007 we look forward to the annual Lively 
Lunch on health sciences collection development 
issues, and sessions moderated and presented by 
our health sciences colleagues, STM publishers, 
as well as colleagues from other sectors...On 
November 7th, there are a number of preconferences from which to choose.

The conference is a nice "book end" in November, 
opposite the annual MLA conference in 
May...Hopefully, a number of CDS colleagues will 
have the opportunity to participate and network 
at the 2007 annual Charleston Conference.
