    The 2003 National Forum Committee seeks proposals for high quality concurrent sessions at the 6th annual LITA National Forum to be held at the Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel, Norfolk Virginia, October 1-3, 2003.

    The Forum theme for 2003 is:

    Putting Technology Into Practice

    Providing effective service in libraries today is all about putting information technology into practice, to serve remote and on-site library users, search and manage collections, and create digital collections.

Proposals on all aspects of library and information technology are welcome.

    Possible proposal topics include, but are not limited to: Uses of metadata Integrated access to resources Electronic books Services for remote patrons Virtual Reality Customization/personalization Design & Management of portals Streaming media Authentication/privacy Wireless technologies Uses of XML Search engines Managing technological change Electronic journals Distance education New user services Preservation of digital records Collaboration software/technologies Open source software Resource linking strategies Creation of digital libraries

    Presentations must have a technological focus and they must pertain to libraries and/or be of interest to librarians. Concurrent sessions are approximately 75 minutes in length.

    For the first time, Forum 2003 will also accept a limited number of poster session proposals. Presenters should indicate their interest in a poster session on proposals.

    Presenters are required to submit handouts one month in advance for the Forum notebook, and handouts will be made available on the Web site after the event.
