Dear Colleagues,
The Handbook and List of Members for 2009 is now available in the members' area of the ARLIS/NA Web site. Members may login using the MemberClicks username and password; click on the link "Download the 2009 Handbook."
For the first time, the handbook is being made available exclusively in portable document format (PDF). Adobe Acrobat Reader is needed to view, search, and print the document. The latest version can be downloaded for free at http://get.adobe.com/reader/.
The content and appearance follows the precedent set by earlier editions, and contains administrative information, leadership and group rosters, sponsorship and awards information, as well as alphabetical lists of individual, institutional, and business affiliate members of record as of March 16, 2009 (hence the new single-year designation). Member indexes by institution and by geographic location conclude the document.
By offering the publication in this format, we are pleased to introduce several useful viewing, navigating, and printing features. Using Acrobat Reader, the viewer can save the entire document to an individual computer or portable storage device, enlarge the text size for easier viewing, and search in the "Find" window on the toolbar. Icons on the left allow the viewer to see thumbnail images of individual pages (enlargeable under "options") and go directly to a desired page; one may also use the table of contents bookmarked for quick consultation of a particular section. Each listing in the table of contents is also linked to the corresponding section; just click on the line to jump to the first page of the section chosen. Links to external Web sites are provided in the "Affiliated Organizations" list on p. xi.
For those who may wish to do so, the entire document (or any portion of it) may be printed for consultation offline.
Please note that the online membership directory and the society's Web site will be the best sources for regularly updated information.
We hope you find the ARLIS/NA Handbook and List of Members for 2009 both informative and easy to use, and we welcome your comments and suggestions for future editions.

Chair, ARLIS/NA Communications and Publications Committee
