<span style="color:black">The Program Planning Group of the RBMS Bibliographic Standards Committee (BSC) is committed to increasing programming related to cataloging and technical services at RBMS conferences. Currently, we are seeking presenters and topics
for sessions for the RBMS 2022 and RBMS 2023 conferences. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="mso-margin-top-alt:12.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:0in">
<span style="color:black">We are interested in soliciting ideas for new topics. We 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. Members of the Program Planning Group will provide assistance and guidance. We would like to have potential topics by Friday, August 20th, 2021. If you have a preference for presenting in a specific year (e.g., 2023), please
include that in your response. The Program Planning Group will then decide which topics to pursue and will reach out to presenters to begin drafting proposals.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
