[Libs-Or] June 24–25: OCLC Americas Regional Council annual meeting

[John Helmer]

Washington and Oregon colleagues,

You may have heard that OCLC is being governed in a new way, with input 
from three regions that cover the world.  We are in the "Americas" and 
our Americas Regional Council is meeting for the first time at ALA on 
June 24–25, 2010.  If you are going to ALA I hope you'll attend this 
meeting or watch it streamed on the web.  Most sessions are presented by 
staff from member libraries on topics such as federated searching, 
record use, and pricing principles.

This is a great opportunity to provide input on OCLC policies and 
services and meet the delegates that represent you on the Global Council.

The agenda is at http://tinyurl.com/35tzryl
Registration info is below.
