Colleagues,

This is just a reminder that the first OCLC Americas Regional Council 
meeting will be at ALA in Boston January 15, 2010, 8:30 - 11:30 am.  
OCLC is in the early stages of a brand new way of communicating with and 
being governed by member libraries.  It is a truly new global model and 
we are all now part of the Americas Region represented by delegates from 
across North and South America.  We are fortunate to have three in the 
Northwest: Susan Barnes Whyte at Linfield College, Pat French at 
Multnomah County Library, and me.

More info below.  Hope to see you there.
