Because the dissemination of the 2000 Census results will be the first large
scale attempt to migrate from a print-with-some-electronic-files format to an
internet-with-some-tangible-media format, and because of significant changes in
the definitions of race, and continuing controversies over redistricting and the

management decisions and reference procedures will need to be revised and
updated. To assist librarians in their decision making process, we will be
covering:
Kay Christensen, Augustana College
Kay Christensen of Augustana will compare legislative resources available
through GPO Access with legislative resources available through other sites
(commercial and other government sites.)
Sandy Roe and Mark McCullough, Minnesota State University, Mankato
Sandy and Mark will discuss Memorial Library's efforts to provide access to
electronic federal government information without the aid of a commercial tape
service such as Marcive. Topics covered will include: identification of
electronic sites, format selection/deselection, workflow issues and url
maintenance.
There will also be some discussion of integrating URLs by using the Marcive
service.
Dicksy Howe-Noyes and Conni Stensrud, Southwest State University
Conni's plans for the meetings are set forth below:

For example, the Subject Bibliographies (GP 3.22/2:) were superseded in
paper. Now they are only available online. Do we still have to keep the
older ones for five years? And what if you've found it in cyberspace, but
don't have a record?

Which you may not have directly selected, but which are "attached" to an
item number that you DO select), how do you handle them? Do you load each
one to see if it is something you want to add to the collection, do you
automatically NOT add it, or do you add all CDs that you receive without
trying to determine if the content is valuable or not?
What databases work well? What information do you enter for each title?
