Dear ARLIS/NA Colleagues,

2. April 30th Virtual Seminar Series.
<http://www.sla.org/content/Events/distance/virtsem2003/apr30virtsem.cfm>
Join Virtual Seminar Leader, Randy Englund for the April 30th Virtual
Seminar: An Organic Approach to Project Management. This session describes
the path where the results you create through projects become great instead
of average, and the outcome contributes to organizational goals instead of
going on the shelf.

3. USA Patriot Act Information Portal.
<http://www.sla.org/content/memberservice/communication/PATRIOTAct/index.cfm
>
SLA now has an information portal on the USA PATRIOT Act. The Act was
designed to broaden the surveillance capabilities of law enforcement
following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The Act contains new
provisions governing criminal and foreign intelligence investigations and in
so doing, affects state and local privacy laws. Since its passage on October
26, 2001, many libraries have seen an increase in law enforcement inquiries.
Authorities have sought access to patron records, including electronic mail
and other electronic communications. On May 30, 2002, the Attorney General
issued Guidelines that expand the FBI's investigative powers. On July 16,
President Bush announced a "National Strategy for Homeland Security." All of
these measures have profound implications for libraries and their patrons'
privacy. Please click on the link above to access the USA Patriot Act
information portal.
