----------------------------Original message---------------------------- For those of you involved in architecture/urban design/planning, the Council of Planning Librarians annual conference may be of interest. Unfortunately, it is being held at the same time as ARLIS/NA. But just in case you're not planning to attend the ARLIS/NA conference: The Council of Planning Libraries (CPL) 1997 Annual Conference will take place in San Diego April 3-8, 1997 at the Marriott Hotel. The theme of this year's conference is "Fostering a Culture of Good Library Services, Resources and Applications," and promises to challenge you and offer new insights into issues we face as Planning and Social Science/Science Librarians. There will be sessions on GIS, Digital Libraries, a Publishers Focus Group, Environmental Habitats, Historical Preservation Internet Development for Planning, Divided Cities/Border Cities/Unified Cities/Transborder Relations; and special luncheon speakers, a San Diego City Tour and a field trip by ferry to Coronado. Lots of good fun awaits you in San Diego, a chance to network with colleagues and make new friends and participate in a very interesting and interactive program. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Julia Gelfand, chair-elect of CPL, at 714-824-4971, 714-824-3114 (FAX) or [log in to unmask] Elizabeth Byrne, UCB Environmental Design Library [log in to unmask]
