Hi Everyone,
It’s time again for our fall Technical Services Roundtable meeting!
Please note the change in venue: we will meet this time at the beautiful new South Hadley Public Library.

Our agenda will include:
- MHEC: how do you like “our” bid list? What products do you want to add? What else can be improved?
- Making connections beyond Western Massachusetts
- Cataloging questions
- Evergreen Release 2.6 preview
- Supply swap (you must take back your unclaimed stuff)
If you have other agenda ideas, email Carolyn Platt . You can review the minutes from our previous meetings at: http://tsroundtable.wordpress.com/
Thanks, and see you soon!
