BIBCO colleagues, Here is the agenda for the Joint meetings of the BIBCO and CONSER Operations Committee meetings at LC, Thursday and Friday, April 27-28, 2006. All BIBCO members will be represented by the ten BIBCO OpCo members. All BIBCO institutions are welcome to participate if they wish to attend. I've heard from a few folks that they plan to come. It will help us have the required number of handouts for presentations if you let us know of your plans. Please note that the BIBCO and CONSER meet jointly on Thursday and Friday mornings. BIBCO meets for a separate session on Thursday afternoon, but not on Friday.I'm including the agenda in this email. I will provide the agenda for posting online in a prettier format. I hope to provide other items to colleagues for much-needed updates to our BIBCO website soon. The delay is entirely my own. I'll be on leave, returning April 18 to answer any questions that may arise, or you may contact our Coop Team Leader, Anthony Franks ([log in to unmask]). I look forward to seeing you in two short weeks!
