SLA-PAM International Relations Committee

[ESO Garching Librarian <esolib _at__ eso.org>]

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

die Physik-Astronomie-Mathematik (PAM) Gruppe innerhalb der amerikanischen 
Special Libraries Association (SLA) hat seit vielen Jahren ein Kommitee 
fuer internationale Beziehungen (International Relations Committee, IRC), 
das sich um den Kontakt speziell zu nicht-amerikanischen 
SpezialbibliothekarInnen bemueht. Die folgende Nachricht wendet sich 
besonders an Bibliotheken im asiatischen Raum, aber vielleicht weckt sie 
auch bei deutschen KollegInnen Interesse am IRC; eine regionale Gruppe wie 
die unten angekuendigte besteht in Europa bereits. Ich arbeite seit Jahren 
bei SLA-PAM mit und bin von dem guten Netzwerk innerhalb der Bibliothekare 
begeistert. Ueber Fragen und Kommentare wuerde ich mich freuen.

Gruesse aus dem noch nicht verschneiten Muenchen

		*****ANNOUNCEMENT********

The Physics, Astronomy, Mathematics (PAM) and Computer Science Libraries,
	Asia/Pacific Forum (PAM-APF)  

Special librarians in the Asia-Pacific Region, are invited to join a forum
that is being established in the subject areas of Physics, Astronomy,
Mathematics and Computer Science. This forum, a project of the
International Relations Committee of the Special Libraries Association - 
Physics Astronomy and Mathematics Division (SLA-PAM), aims to foster the 
exchange of information amongst colleagues; and to inform publishers of
technological weaknesses in the Developing World, especially in the
Asia-Pacific Region. There is no financial cost involved with joining this
forum, and members do not need to join Special Libraries Association.

A regional online discussion list will assist these specialists to keep
abreast of new developments and give access to advice from colleagues with
similar interests or those who are facing similar problems. More
information about the project is available at the PAM-APF website,

http://msowww.anu.edu.au/library/pam/intro.htm

If you have difficulty reaching this site, would like further information
or have any suggestions, would you please contact the coordinator, Jeanette
Regan. Email: jeanette.regan _at__ anu.edu.au or
