[TopicMapsInLIS] Fwd: [DIGLIB] Call for Presenters: ALA Midwinter, ALCTS CCS Cataloging Norms Interest Group

[Steve Pepper]

I agree with Liliana that this would be a good opportunity to talk to the
library community about the relevance of Topic Maps. However, since it is only a
2-hour meeting, we can't expect anyone to travel a great distance to do so. It
will be a challenge to present such a subject in just 15-20 minutes; on the
other hand, that's exactly what would help us hone our ideas.

If anyone is interested in submitting a proposal, I for one would be happy to
bounce ideas back and forth in this forum.

Steve
