Written on Tuesday, 01 December 2009

Do you have questions about the disposition of depository materials? Join us for the next session in the "Chat with GPO" series of online discussions with GPO staff.

At 1:30 p.m. EST on Monday, December 14, 2009, Cynthia Etkin, Sr., Program Planning Specialist, and Lisa Russell, Manager, Content Management, will discuss best practices for streamlining the disposal process and solicit your suggestions for features of an automated tool for the Needs & Offers process. The session will be held in the GPO OPAL room (which is also available from the OPAL Implementation page).

The program will be archived on the GPO OPAL site, so you will have convenient access at all times.
