From the Editor

Highlights from ALA's Annual Conference in New York City are included in this issue. Lots of excellent programs, terrific food, enlightening committee discussions and a myriad of opportunities to meet many new colleagues are part of the benefits of attending conference. If you didn't get a chance to attend the conference or, even if you did, you have a chance to read about some of the many professional activities which happened in New York.

Current and new members of LIRT are actively involved in LIRT's committees. I'd like to include more of the projects completed by committees in the newsletter, as well as feature articles from the field at large. Over the course of the next year the newsletter committee will be contacting individuals and committees to encourage newsletter contributions. We'll be in touch, so you be in touch. Now that sounds like a New York journalist to me.
