Taking a close look at the SAA meeting schedule, it's apparent that a 
lot of good sessions and activities are packed into a few short 
days--that's good news.  But, like last year, I'm concerned about the 
coincidental scheduling of several of the sci/tech/healthcare sessions:

FRI 9/4  1:45-3:15

     22. "Primary sources in the development of health policy"
     30. "Documenting our agricultural heritage today"

SAT 9/5  2:00-3:30

     T.   "Florida ecological river tour" (10:00-3:30)
     54.  "Networking technology as rudder or engine" 
     58.  "Science, community, and architecture: Documentation 
          strategies in practice"


I know it's difficult to schedule sessions when there are only 8 
possibilities (4 per day: 2 each morning and afternoon) into which to 
fit everything, but these afternoon overlaps are a bit much...again!
