FROM THE EDITOR

This year of editing LIRT News has been a wonderful experience. I've gotten to know many terrific people, and have enjoyed my time with you all enormously. As always, kudos and praise go to our Production Editor Jana Edwards, whose patience, creativity, artistic skills and good humor make LIRT News the visually stimulating and attractive publication which reaches you four times a year.

Reluctantly, I turn over the Editorship to John Spencer, whose experience in journalism will be a valuable asset to LIRT. John will welcome articles and news of library instruction. The deadline for the September issue is July 15. Please submit items to John at the address below. E-mail submissions are preferred, but fax and paper manuscripts are acceptable. Please support John in his efforts as we pass LIRT News into his capable hands.
