**Activity in Current Reporting Period 

a)      Projects completed (For example, any procedures, tip sheets, checklists, etc. created during this period):

 

The Orientation Committee collaborated on an article for the November 2004 issue of Footnotes.  The article, http://www.louisville.edu/~tlholt02/nmrt/Footnotes/november2004/Cheap.htm, focused on providing new conference-goers with tips on attending conferences without spending too much money.

 

The committee also planned, advertised, and conducted an orientation program at the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Boston, MA.  Almost one-hundred people attended the program, and eighty-two of those filled out evaluation forms.  The feedback from the orientation program was overwhelmingly positive.  An article about the program will be included in the upcoming issue of Footnotes.

 

b)      Projects in progress but not yet completed:

 

The committee is currently planning the NMRT Orientation program at the ALA Annual Conference 2005 in Chicago, IL.
