RE:  Pre-conference workshop on digital resources for Slavic studies,
AAASS Toronto conference, November 20.

If you plan to attend this fall's AAASS conference in Toronto and would
like to brush up or broaden your knowledge of digital resources for Slavic
studies, you are encouraged to register for a pre-conference workshop
sponsored by the AAASS Bibliography and Documentation Committee on
Thursday, November 20, from 9:15 to 11:30 a.m. at the University of
Toronto's Pratt Library.  Slavic librarians from institutions around North
America will offer concise, information-rich presentations on a range of
topics tailored to the needs and interests of the workshop's participants.
Topics of the 2 1/2 -hour workshop may include:  Russification (or
Polonization, etc.) of your PC; online indexes and catalogs; full-text
databases; Russian and East European Internet portals; and a good deal
more.

The workshop is planned as a hands-on, participatory learning experience
and is open to registered AAASS conference participants to a maximum of
20.  Some additional seating (not at PCs) may also be made available to
attendees beyond the limit of 20.

To register for the workshop, please contact Michael Biggins
(mbiggins at u.washington.edu) with your name, e-mail address, institutional
affiliation (including department and academic title), area(s) of
specialization in Slavic studies, and a brief list of digital resource
topics you would like to learn more about.  Participants will be
registered on a first-come, first-served basis.

More information about the workshop, including a map and directions for
getting from the conference hotel to Pratt Library (a short subway ride
away) will be sent to registered workshop participants in October.
