Meeting on One Person Libraries in London.

[pdh@ras.org.uk]

Dear Colleagues, 
         I am sorry this  message gives rather short notice.  The  Historic  
Libraries Forum,   a  non profit making British based organisation 
which aims to provide support and information for the types of  
library  which the main  professional  organisations largely ignore,  
is holding its  fifth  annual FORUM  in London  on  Saturday  16 
November 1996   from 1030  am to  4 pm , at Dr Williams'  Library, 
Gordon Square.  
        The subject is ONE PERSON LIBRARIES  but of  course it  should 
be of interest to those  with 'not very many' staff !   The HLF AGM 
will take place during the day  and  talks will include 
'A Day in the Life...'
'Employing'  voluntary staff 
Increasing staffing levels 
Training  and Skills Development 
The Librarian AND  Archivist 
Confessions  of a Lapsed Technophobe 
The Place of  a small library within a large organisation 

          There  will be time for  discussion and exchange of 
experiences and suggestions.  
         The  cost of the meeting   will be   pounds 17.50 per head 
and  an optional lunch  ( which was jolly good last year)  is pounds 
7.50 extra. 
         There are still some places available and anyone interested 
is welcome to attend ; the Secretary of the   HLF,  Mrs  Clare 
Sargent,  Radley College  can be FAXed on  01235  543041  or those 
wishing to attend  are welcome  to book by sending an e-mail to  the 
undersigned and I will pass their names on. 
                      I look forward to seeing you there 

                                      Peter D Hingley
