It continues today as a meeting ground for academic, public and special librarians interested in business.
Discussion is initiated by one or two invited speakers on a selected topic.
Traditionally, one speaker is from a public library and the other is from an academic library. After brief initial presentations, the discussion is opened to the floor for questions, comments and observations on the topic. Once discussion of the main topic is exhausted an open forum on any business reference subject or concern is held. Meetings generally last two hours. Attendance varies from about 50 to 90.
