Apologies for duplication
=========================

CAVAL is pleased to announce its second Expert Forum for 2007, in
association with SirsiDynix.  Registrations are now open and expected to
fill quickly.

THE TOP 10 STRATEGIES FOR LIBRARY SUCCESS - An Expert Forum with Stephen
Abram.

Now that we are well into the new Millennium, what are the top ten
issues facing libraries and the library profession?  What are the top
strategies we need to employ to ensure our success in our communities
and learning institutions?  Will advertising driven search engines
really win the hearts and minds of our customers?  Are our collections
right for today or will use of Google's vault of digitized books grow
wildly?  Are we ready for the next round of technology and social
change?  Will our local and national cultures be overwhelmed by generic
world services?

Library Journal 'mover and shaker' Stephen Abram returns to Australia in
August to ask these and other big questions, and to provide some
insights into where we, as libraries, might invest our energy for
success.  How fast can we succeed?  In this thought-provoking half day
forum, Stephen will provide his usual insightful and positive ideas for
action.

PERTH - Cliftons Seminar: Friday August 31st, 2007 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm.
