Harvesting Online Resources and Cloud Computing

Dear Colleague:

Greetings!

Agricultural Librarians Association of the Philippines will celebrate its 41st anniversary on June 7, 2013 at the UPLB Main Library through a forum entitled “Harvesting Online Resources and Cloud Computing”.

There are common questions from information professionals, researchers as well as library users that this seminar would like to address: these are 1) How can we gather free digital resources to augment our print collections; 2) How can we systematically search, download, and share these reliable materials to our library users; 3) what do we need to know about cloud computing; and 4) how is cloud computing influencing the way we keep and share information?

Please come and bring a friend or colleague to join us, as we learn from the invited experts on the topics.

The forum fee is Php 500.00 to cover snacks, lunch and certificates.

During the forum, exhibits of agricultural websites will be displayed at the UPLB Main Library lobby while ALAP's General Assembly starts at 1pm onwards.

For reservation and inquiries please contact Andriette S. Valdez at 0908-320-9416 or Evangeline L. Alcantara at 0916-5056120 or get in touch with any ALAP officers.

See you there!

Very truly yours,

LORENZA D. OLIVEROS

Vice-President and

Chair, Conference Committee
