Be sure to read the abstracts for other program sessions, because I may
have missed some (session/tour hosts, please post corrections if I did).
For example, Session #13 originally included "in Science Faculty,
Technology and Medicine Collections" in the sub-title, but the Program
Committee recommended removing this phrase in order to broaden the
session's appeal. 

Note that the STHC program and business meeting has been moved to Thursday
afternoon (immediately after Session #13) from its traditional Saturday
8:00 am (can you say "early"?) slot. Kudos to the Program Committee for
responding to requests to juggle Section and Roundtable meeting times.
STHC Co-Chairs Jean Deken and Joe Anderson will post details about the
Thursday afternoon program.
