FROM THE PRESIDENT

I am so looking forward to Annual Conference in San Francisco and I hope all of you are, too. I want to especially thank our Conference Program 2001 Chair, Cynthia Akers, and her committee, for working tirelessly on the upcoming program: Partnerships for Instruction. This is certainly a timely topic and I look forward to the presentation. In many respects it seems that our work has always been done in collaboration and now, those beyond the world of libraries also understand the value and necessity for teamwork and partnerships. Dwindling resources, increased competition for those scarce resources and (perhaps) common sense are driving folks to look for ways to work together. LIRT has always been a professionally diverse group working toge-ther to move forward an important service agenda. We come from school, special, academic and public libraries offering support to each other and our constituencies in concerns within the area of library instruction. As the American Library Association celebrates its 125th anniversary, it is right that, at this conference, we should celebrate and share our expertise on creating and sustaining powerful partnerships.
