The 15th Anniversary Task Force has completed their assignment with the publication of a monograph entitled, Information for a New Age: Redefining the Librarian, published by Libraries Unlimited. Thank you to Randy Call and his committee for a job well done.

The Research Committee has completed their handbook on evaluation which is published and available through ALA (ISBN 0-8389-9665-6). The book, Evaluating Library Instruction: Sample Questions, Forms, and Strategies for Practical Use, includes over 100 questions on evaluation that can be used in all libraries. The price of the book is $32.00; for ALA members it's $28.80. Thank you to Diana Shonrock and her committee for completing this project.

The 1995 Conference Program, "Class Act: Producing and Presenting Library Instruction," took place on Sunday, June 25 from 9:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. Over 400 people were in attendance. Thanks to Carolyn Walters and the 1995 Conference Committee for a super job in putting the program together.

Jeniece Guy, who has been our LIRT liaison from ALA is no longer with us. She has been transferred into another position. Jeniece has spent many years supporting LIRT and has been dedicated to providing LIRT with excellent support. Please let her know how much you as a LIRT member appreciate her efforts and accomplishments on behalf of LIRT.

Budget:
LIRT has a $3,000 deficit and needs to be cut by $5,000. Because of the deficit, the PR/Membership Committee did not give out t- shirts to people who worked in the booth. We appreciated the volunteers who worked the booth without any compensation. Also proposed is to reduce the amount spent on equipment used in the booth because this becomes very expensive, especially in New York. In addition, it's been proposed that complimentary meals for speakers be replaced with a gift certificate to the ALA bookstore.

Committee Chairs:
It was decided that we will no longer use the phrase "new chair orientation" since many chairpersons are returning. The new phrase will be "committee chair update". This meeting was traditionally held from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m. on Saturdays at the ALA Annual Conference, and will now be held on Saturdays from 9:00 to 9:30 a.m.

Election Procedures:
A new officer rotation was proposed by the Organization and Bylaws Committee who will be refining their ideas: 1) two new categories of membership: Academic/Special and School/Public; 2) Vice- President/President-Elect be rotated every other year and the Assistant Treasurer/Treasurer-Elect rotate as well, opposite of the Vice President/President-Elect.

Archives:
A copy of all minutes of LIRT meetings must be sent to the LIRT Archivists, Lynn Randall. She cannot do her job if people do not send her the minutes. Lynn has been a long and faithful member of LIRT and has worked hard as the Archivist. Please make her job easier by sending minutes of your LIRT meetings.

Newsletter:
The chairmanship and editorship of the newsletter will be turned over to John Spencer at the end of the ALA Conference. Please make an effort to send him your news and reports so he can meet the ALA deadlines. The deadline for items to be submitted to John for the September newsletter is July 15.

Long-Range Planning:
A Bibliographic Instruction Environmental Scan is being developed and will be conducted in the (near?) future. Members are needed to serve on this committee. Thelma Tate will be the chairperson.

Database Manager: Billie maintains the LIRT membership lists. To contact the database send an electronic message to the following address: MAILSERV @ Baylor.DDU, LIRT-L, [your name].
