From the Editor

It's hard to believe that the ALA Midwinter Conference in Washington is almost here; it's also hard to believe that my favorite baseball team, the Atlanta Braves, is in another World Series. While an ALA conference is not the same as the World Series, many of us are anticipating the meetings and discussions in Washington, D.C. Although it's quite beautiful here in sunny Arizona, it will be nice to have a brief sense of winter again, especially for such a short time. Conferences are a great chance for a change of scenery and an opportunity for those of us who live in the warmer climes to wear those winter clothes again.

Speaking of baseball and great catches, the Internet is certainly catching on with everyone. As librarians begin using the Internet for instruction there are many new challenges and a host of opportunities. You can read about one such instructional opportunity in this issue, an article from Virginia Tech about web-based instructional pages. As always, articles are welcome on topics related to library instruction. And ideas on possible contributors are also appreciated.
