From the Editor
In a way, LIRT seems to start over each year. We have a new president who will be assisted by a new slate of officers and committee chairs. Together, we have new programs to plan, new projects to complete, and new obstacles to overcome. Nevertheless, the collective wisdom acquired through the accomplishments and struggles of LIRT's first two decades is an important balance to the enthusiasm of the newly appointed and elected. As it does every September, this issue of the newsletter embodies both wisdom and enthusiasm in the forms of an annual report from the outgoing president and a greeting from the incoming president.

In coming months, the enthusiasm of a new editor and new members of the newsletter committee will shape this publication, but we will benefit from the wisdom of Jana Edwards, Production Editor. Expect no radical departures. The Library Instruction Round Table News--in both its printed and its World-Wide-Web editions--will continue to provide news about the organization, and it will continue to include articles and columns relevant to instruction librarians in every kind of library. The newsletter committee joins me in inviting you to share your own experience and enthusiasm with other instruction librarians by submitting articles for publication in your LIRT newsletter.
