<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Since our meeting at Annual last year, the RBMS Bibliographic Standards Committee (BSC) is recommitting to our efforts to increase and support the presence of cataloging/technical services-related programming
at RBMS conferences. To that end, we are calling for suggestions of topics for all kinds of sessions for the 2020 RBMS conference in Bloomington, IN. BSC will review all completed proposals at our meeting at Annual 2019 and we would love to have a robust selection
to support (and to hopefully attend in 2020!).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">We also recognize that proposal writing can be time-consuming, especially if you’ve not done it before. If you have a topic idea and are willing to write a session proposal, BSC will work with you to draft
the proposal. BSC has created a dedicated subgroup for supporting program planning, and I and my fellow members of this group will provide assistance and guidance in creating strong proposals. We would ideally like to have potential topics before Midwinter
so that the committee can have a preliminary discussion during our meeting. However, we will be accepting proposal suggestions after that. The goal is to begin the proposal writing process around the end of March, leaving a few months to work before the final
review at Annual.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Please reply to me off list (<a href="mailto:brenna.bychowski@yale.edu">brenna.bychowski@yale.edu</a>) if you have a potential topic and/or are willing to draft a session proposal, or if you have any questions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
