<p><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black">The second meeting of the SFCC took place in the open air on the San Diego Embarcadero. The wind was brisk and the temperature rapidly dropping so we spoke quickly. The main topic of conversation was the feasibility
of joining together to pursue a grant to provide bibliographic and digital access to our fanzine collections. After introducing ourselves, we succinctly discussed the holdings in our separate collections through our chattering teeth. Those of us with fanzines
agreed that we would like to examine the possibilities of a grant--our administrators permitting, but as we wrapped ourselves more tightly in blankets we decided to continue the conversation electronically, which will also allow other consortium members to
participate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black">The meeting was adjourned after Melissa Conway reminded the SFCC members that the
<b>2013 Eaton Science Fiction Conference, "SF in Media" would take place in Riverside, California April 11-13, 2012.</b> The conference website will go live in the coming week and all are invited to attend and/or to submit an abstract for a presentation</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt">
