If you are contemplating loading records from the MARCIVE Enhanced GPO
Database, and are planning to attend the LITA conference in September, then

  3. Authorities processing.

  4. Post-load considerations.

  5. Topics identified by registrants as pertinent to their own situation.

Systems librarians, government documents librarians, map librarians, and
technical services librarians are most likely to benefit from the information
exchanged in this meeting.
