Program for Atlanta, 2001 conference: The working title for the program is "What to Do When You Don't Have a Subject Specialist". The proposal was turned in March, 2001. The purpose of the program is to offer guidance to libraries that lack a Slavic collection but serve a researcher who needs a Slavic collection. Ideas for speakers include:

• A librarian and/or faculty member from an institution like that described above
• A librarian from an institution that offers service to librarians or faculty in need, e.g. someone from the University of Illinois Reference Service
• Someone to speak on covering the cataloging of these materials, if the language expertise is lacking in the library
• Someone to speak on slavlibs as a mechanism for sharing information and expertise

• The decision on program approval will be made on June 19, 2001
• The budget should be known by September, 2001
• A meeting time must be requested by October, 2001, including an estimate of the size of the audience.
• The deadline for requesting AV equipment is October, 2001, although requests can be made as late as May 1, 2002. Any requests after that time will require SEES to pay for the equipment
• Speakers must be determined by February, 2002
• A draft of the blurb describing the program is due in January, 2002
