I'll send them out this afternoon. Should I just copy/paste from the original announcement? Or do some of these organizations not need as much information about the history of the awards (ie, what has changed since last year, etc)? I can also compile a list of MLIS programs in the US and contact information, and then send out an email, if you'd like. The only thing I can think of is to collect this info from ALA's directory: http://www.ala.org/Template.cfm?Section=lisdirb&Template=/cfapps/lisdir/in d ex.cfm I like the idea of a performance for the Tansey event, rather than a speaker - just my 2 cents!

Now we as a committe have to get the notice out to other related listservs. Are any of you members of the following groups?: ARLIS/NA CAA ImageLib MCN Museum-L SAA If you can post the announcement to any of these groups please let us know. We also have a list of Canadian MLIS programs but not one for U.S. programs. Does anyone know of a way to contact U.S. MLIS programs as a group or would like to compile a list and contact them individually? Tansey Event news We're negotiating with Alma Flamenca dance troupe from the University of New Mexico (http://theatre.unm.edu/academics/production_opportunities.php) and a speaker/presenter from the Fractal Foundation (http://fractalfoundation.org/). Please look at their websites and chime in on what you think is the best option and will draw the biggest audience. The Tansey event will be on Friday, April 20 at 8:30 in the hotel using food and beverage in the conference hotel contract.
