Re: Call for Speakers: Philosophy Religion Theology discsussion group



You may wish to contact the American Theological Library
Association (www.atla.com) and ask to have your request
published on their web site and/or in their newsletter.  This is an
organization of some 300 or 400 theological librarians.

>
>  - How can a librarian at a STATE COLLEGE/UNIV or PUBLIC LIBRARY fulfill
> requests to incorporate religion related materials into the collection,
> without raising eyebrows over public funds for religious purposes.
>
>  - Building a core collection of books that provide interdisciplinary
> comparisons of different religion, for undergraduates.
>
>      Or, pick your own topic, and contact me, so that we can discuss it
> further.

>      Thank you very much for your interest.
