Dialog is SLA Major Partner
San Antonio Annual Conference, 9-14 June 2001

This year's Special Libraries Association Annual Conference promises to be an exciting and informative event. Dialog is co-sponsoring the Conference as an
SLA Major Partner which includes our underwriting the following special programs:

• Tech Zone Computer Lab
• All Continuing Education courses
• Management Development Institute

Support for these particular SLA programs underscores Dialog's ongoing commitment to the lifelong learning and professional development of information specialists--a commitment also reflected in several new customer-focused initiatives. SLA is traditionally the venue for our most important product and service announcements, and this year is no exception. You are certain to be pleased to hear what Dialog is doing to help our "InfoPro" customers. This issue of the Chronolog includes stories on two official announcements slated for SLA.

• All Dialog public training classes in the United States will now be offered to customers free of charge (see here for details).



• Many longtime Dialog customers remember our Quantum program, a program focusing on strategies for developing leadership and professional development skills. Quantum2 will be launched in San Antonio (see here for details). Quantum2 is similar to the original Quantum program in terms of content and development. Our Quantum2 sessions will be offered concurrently with Dialog Regional Updates, enhancing the value of both programs.

Of course, Dialog will be showcasing several new products and services at SLA as well. Dialog IntraIntelligence customer intranet design, IntraNews, and DataStar Private File and Custom Interface, described elsewhere in this issue, are just the newest of many exciting releases this year. For an overview of the current web-interfaces of Dialog, including the award-winning Dialog1, read this article. Plan to stop by the Dialog exhibit booth for a personal demonstration of these new offerings.

Many Dialog staff are long-standing members of SLA and have frequently presented at professional meetings. Dialog employees will be presenting the following sessions at SLA:
