It has been a busy two years being editor of the OLAC Newsletter. I've learned a lot about editing, bulk mailing and printing. I never managed to learn enough about Microsoft Publisher (what a weird program, what unhelpful help). And I read the OLAC Newsletter from beginning to end for two whole years, so I learned a lot about the state of media cataloging.
As cataloging is in transition, so is the Newsletter. The new editor will be Kate James, who was recently OLAC Treasurer. The Newsletter will be online only—we'll see how users take to the new format. We have offered the Newsletter online for many years now and we know it sees a lot of use on the Website. Hopefully concentrating on an online format will allow for expanded content and new ideas.
Of course, I won't be going anywhere. I'll be sending in my membership renewal this week, and I'll attend the midwinter meetings. I'll be headed up to Macon for the conference in 2010 (I can hardly wait!). Hope to see all of you, and check us out online in March! |
