ALCTS announces forums for Midwinter in Philadelphia

ALCTS, the Association for Library Collections & Technical Services, announces a stellar line-up of provocative and worthwhile forums for the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia.
Ranging from the LC Working Group Report to the IMLS "Connecting to Collections" initiative to new roles for acquisitions, there is a forum for any Midwinter attendee.
More information about these forums and ALCTS Interest Group and Discussion Group Midwinter Meeting topics can be found in the October and December issues of the ALCTS Newsletter Online (ANO).
