UCITA VIDEOCONFERENCE DATE SET

On December 13, 2000 ALA, along with Association of Research 
Libraries, Association of Law Libraries, Special Libraries 
Association and the Medical Libraries Association, will be 
sponsoring a two-hour videoconference on the Uniform Computer 
Information Transactions Act (UCITA).  The videoconference will 
provide a "primer" on UCITA, strategies for advocacy in your 
state, and an opportunity for questions and answers by 
participants.

We intend to have program and registration details on a web site 
available in September, but in the meantime wanted to alert you to 
the date so that you may mark your calendars.  Advance materials 
for the participants will become available on that site as well.

If you have any questions, concerns or would like further 
information on UCITA, contact Miriam Nisbet at 
mnisbet@alawash.org.  Background information on UCITA is available 
at the ALA Washington Office website at 
http://www.ala.org/washoff/ucita.html.
