BCR Helps Sponsor Courier Service Symposium

"Moving Mountains: A Symposium Exploring Library Courier Services" will bring together people from throughout the U.S. and Canada to share information and expertise on moving physical library materials from point to point. This two-day event will be held in Denver, Colorado, September 14-15, 2006. BCR is a sponsor of the symposium, which has been organized by the Colorado Library Consortium (CLiC) and the Colorado State Library.

Representatives from the delivery industry will provide an overview of industry trends, veterans of the RFP and contracting process will provide tips, participants will explore different funding models for sustainability, and innovators will talk about their cutting edge solutions. In addition to formal presentations, there will be ample time for group discussion on creating best practices and possibly experimenting with linking existing regional couriers into larger delivery networks. The conference conveners hope to publish a monograph through ASCLA after the ymposium that includes articles based on the presentations and outcomes from the meeting.

Register now at the symposium Web site: www.clicweb.org/couriersymposium/ and pay with either a credit card or follow up with a check. A link for online hotel registration is also available from the site.

For more information, contact Valerie Horton, CLiC executive director, at vhorton@clicweb.org or see the CLiC Web site at www.clicweb.org/couriersymposium/.
