Please join us for Tenth Annual Open House on Friday, October 2nd from 1:00 to 4:00 PM. There will be tours of the facility at 1:30 and 3:00, the ever popular Portland history trivia challenge and delicious root beer floats while they last.

This will be our last open house in our current location. We are moving to a larger and more centrally located space in 2010. To mark this occasion you are invited to enjoy our new exhibit entitled "The History of the Portland Archives and Records Program." This exhibit explores and celebrates where we have come from as we prepare to move to our new location. ]]> http://units.sla.org/chapter/cor/event.cfm?eventID=104 Mary Hansen Tue, 29 Sep 2009 12:42:35 PST Mingo location!

As web sites and intranets expand in size and complexity, users require additional means to search for needed information. Browsable A-Z indexes can provide accurate retrieval. Participants will learn when and where an A-Z index is the best option for site searching, the basics of how to create a hyperlinked index, what software tools are available, and how to design and format indexes.

Pizza and refreshments will be served. The cost will be $7 for student members, $8 for SLA members, and $10 for non-members. You may pay at the door either with cash or a check payable to ORSLA. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Joan Truncali at bjtruncali@aol.com or mbagley.lib@gmail.com.

The ASIDIC Spring Meeting is not your average event. It is your opportunity to be part of an intimate gathering of thought leaders from across the information industry. Join us as we take a closer look at major issues affecting the industry, challenge the way you think about these issues, and identify opportunities for future success.

Save the dates and plan to attend the ASIDIC Spring Meeting
Wynn Hotel and Resort, Las Vegas, NV, March 16-18, 2008

Below is an outline of the technical program. Please check the ASIDIC Web site at www.asidic.org/meetings/spring08.htm for details on the program and the local arrangements, and to register for the meeting. We look forward to seeing you in Las Vegas in March.


As Worlds Collide

The Information Universe is expanding at an exponential rate causing not one, but many worlds to collide. Each collision presents both opportunities and dangers to the marketplace. Will the collisions destroy individual worlds or fuse worlds together?

"Will Free Content knock For Fee Content out of geosynchronous orbit?
"Is User Generated Content a super nova or a new galaxy?
"Will Open Access warp the space-time continuum of Traditional Publishing?
"Will Full Text Searching rocket past Abstracting and Indexing Services?
"Is Google-Yahoo-Microsoft (GYM) The Evil Empire or part of The Federation?
"Will Web 2.0 technology become the new propulsion system for content providers?

Join the leaders in the publishing industry who wrestle with these issues and collaborate with them on insights that will drive your business plans forward and your business relationships into profitable new directions.
