Hello OLAC members. I haven't received our room assignments yet for ALA mid-winter, I will send them out via the list serve as soon as I receive them. You should start to see more information coming out about next year's conference, including a call for presenters and for poster presenters. I would love to hear from members if there are any programs that we should be considering, so that we might have presenters on emerging topics of concern to you.

Just a reminder, nomination letters for the Nancy B. Olson award are due to the Committee by December 1. In addition, renewal notices should be coming out in the next couple of months.

I believe that this is our last paper issue of the newsletter. In a way I am sad to see the paper version go. I am one of those people who keep the older issues for reference purposes, especially the cataloging information. When I first started cataloging AV it was ever so helpful. My thanks to Jay Weitz who answered and still answers all those thorny little questions that seem to constantly come up. OLAC and the newsletter was where I first learned that Jay held workshops for AV catalogers.

Finally, please feel free to contact me, or any other board member, with any issues, concerns or other topics that you may be interested in. My email is ploghry@nd.edu.
