Subject: Transborder Library Forum Conference Announcement
SECOND TRANSBORDER LIBRARY FORUM/FORO BINACIONAL DE BIBLIOTECAS
ANNOUNCED FOR MARCH 20-21, 1992 IN HERMOSILLO, MEXICO
The Second Transborder Library Forum will be held on Friday and Saturday,
March 20-21, 1992 in Hermosillo, Mexico. All interested librarians and others
are encouraged to attend. The objective of this meeting is to create an
atmosphere for networking and information-sharing among library professionals
and staff from the U.S. and Mexico, and to make recommendations for improving
joint international activities, projects and exchanges. An additional
emphasis will be the impact of the Free Trade Agreement.
The conference will have four keynote speakers addressing several themes of
interest to librarians: the role of professional associations in international
exchange relations, the process of enrichment of our multicultural
sensibilities, international exchange possibilities between Mexico and the
U.S., and the U.S.-Mexico Free Trade Agreement and its impact on the Mexican
publishing industry. The speakers include: Dr. Jesus Lau Noriega (Instituto
Tecnologico de Durango), Sheila Milam (University of Nevada, Reno), Margarita
Almada de Asencio (CICH-UNAM), Robert Seal (University of Texas at El Paso),
Surya Peniche de Sanchez McGregor (President of AMBAC), and Alfredo Verdugo
(President of CNB).
Discussion table themes include: international librarianship and exchanges,
resource sharing, marketing of libraries, preservation and conservation,
shared cataloging, library education, new information technology, collection
development for linguistic minorities, rural librarianship and strategic
planning.
This Forum is co-sponsored by five professional organizations: the Asociacion
Sonorense de Bibliotecarios, A.C./Sonoran Librarians Association with the
Arizona State Library Association, the American Library Association, U.S.
Mexico Committee, the Asociacion Mexicana de Bibliotecarios/Mexican Librarians
Association, and the Colegio Nacional de Bibliotecarios/National Librarians
College.
The conference proceedings from the 1991 conference, held in Nogales, Arizona,
have been published by ASLA and will be available at the second Forum.
