From the Editor

As you will notice in the newsletter, the ALA Midwinter Conference in San Antonio was filled with meetings of librarians, discussions about instruction and proposals for the future of LIRT. San Antonio was sunny and warm most of the time, and I enjoyed the chance to stroll down the Riverwalk, visit the Alamo and tour the exciting new public library building which is a bright enchilada red color. It was definitely an exciting and enervating conference which gave attendees a chance to reflect upon our roles as instruction librarians in whatever type of library we work in.

This newsletter features committee reports from the conference and also features biographical information on LIRT members who are running for LIRT offices and for ALA Council. And, you can find out about what is of concern to other LIRT members, from technology to instructional programs, as well as lots of references to articles you can read on topics which are current in the field. Happy reading!!! Don't forget to take some time out to take a walk and smell the flowers this spring.
