This is the last issue of the LIRT News that I will edit. Barbara Cressman, who has been assistant editor since February of 1999, will assume the editorship with the September issue (v.22 no.1). I know that Barbara will serve well. She will be assisted by a wonderful group of newsletter committee members and by Jana Edwards our very capable production editor. I invite you to welcome Barbara Cressman to her new role as editor.
I offer my profound appreciation to those LIRT members who have consistently provided contributions to the newsletter in advance of the editorial deadlines: you know who you are. Your conscientiousness kept me from going completely gray before my time. I would also like to thank the two columnists whose regular columns have graced these pages throughout my tenure as editor: Mary Popp’s bibliographic essays are an always helpful guide to current literature related to library instruction; and Billie Peterson’s Tech Talk column always makes the technical understandable to those of us who are not computer gurus. If you enjoy their columns as much as I do, I invite you to send them an e-mail message to tell them so.
In the end, the LIRT News is a cooperative endeavor that the editor merely organizes. So I thank everyone who has written for us in the last two years: your contributions have made the newsletter what it has been. I know Barbara will join me in inviting you to help make the LIRT News even better in the future.
