I like the idea of scheduling the rooms close
together. I also know that we would like the TSRT programs not
to conflict with other TSRT programs if at all possible. </DIV>

Conference<BR><BR><FONT size=-1><FONT face=Verdana>Dear All,<BR><BR>First my
apologies that I won't be able to attend this Friday's meeting in person,
and I'll try to send my comments ahead of time instead. <BR><BR>An issue
came up for the academic division last year - the scheduling of two or more
academic library focused sessions at the same time and in far flung corners
of the conference facility. From the master conference grid it appears that
this year there will likely be two academic sessions in each time slot too.
That being the case, would it be possible to locate them in adjacent and/or
nearby rooms? It will make it so much easier for participants to drop in on
both sessions during the time slot if they so desire.<BR><BR>I suspect the
same issues pertain to the Technical Services sponsored programs as well, so
perhaps we could try whenever possible to schedule sessions sponsored by the
same group in adjacent or nearby rooms?<BR><BR>Thanks for your consideration
of this proposal!<BR><BR><BR>Sincerely,<BR>Robin Paynter<BR></FONT></FONT>
