Good morning,

The OLC Diversity Committee and Technical Services Division are looking for
a few good libraries to help us develop a fun, timely program for OLC Annual
2004.  We envision a session to guide libraries through the steps of
planning, implementing and maintaining an international languages
collection, addressing both technical services and public services issues.
If your library has successfully developed a collection in language(s) other
than English, we would like to talk with you.  We are ESPECIALLY seeking:

* Small libraries
* Libraries who collect in non-Western scripts (e.g. Chinese, Hebrew,
Russian, Korean)

Ideally, the session will feature teams from three or four libraries,
including a technical services staff member and a public services staff
member from each.  Please contact me if you think your library's experience
might help other libraries planning to serve speakers of languages other
than English.

Please feel free to forward this message to colleagues who are involved with
international languages collections.  I can be reached at
<jingraham@worthingtonlibraries.org>.  Thank you very much!

Janet
