Transparency can help government and the public obtain timely 
information
before disaster strikes—and help them cope afterwards.  In celebration 
of Sunshine Week,
a panel of national experts will discuss government and secrecy, the 
problems confronted,
the impacts on communities, and what the public can do. The University 
Library and Champaign County League of Women Voters will sponsor a 
local broadcast of the teleconference as well as a discussion of how 
the issues affect the community.
The public is invited to attend all or part of the event.

For further information, contact Mary Mallory, government documents 
librarian,
