These will soon be available on the IFLA web site. The papers are available on the World Wide Web. Work on publishing in alternative formats continues. Special thanks go to SC member Emma A. Voskanyan and the staff at the Russian State Library for the hard work they donated to translating the papers. Ms. Jane Wu chaired the subcommittee charged with writing the paper.
Several projects are ongoing.
The database for the Directory of Government Information Specialists is largely complete. Editing is proceeding, and the online version should be complete by early 2001. Planning continues for possible professional seminars in South America and the Middle East. Contacts have been made with government information specialists in these areas. The feasibility of holding these seminars is contingent on securing outside grants funding.
