Dear Colleagues:

Greetings from the Association!

On May 13, 2008 (Tuesday), PNU-LISAA, Inc. will hold a forum on Handling Donations and Outsourcing Web Sites and will also visit Thomas Jefferson Information Center of the American Embassy-Manila.

Through this forum, we hope to share the knowledge on how to handle donations and to avail information and materials from websites that are free and would enhance your library collection through:
1. discussing steps and methods in handling donations;
2. identifying various strategies in sourcing donations; and,
3. introducing to librarians and library personnel the rich information sources American government websites have.
