[Liliana Melgar E.]

Dear all,

this call for presentations in the ALA meeting could be the
opportunity for those who understand the importance of Topic Maps for
libraries to introduce the subject into a very important instance in
our profession.

I hope somebody takes this opportunity and find it relevant.

Regards,

Liliana Melgar
