Dear ARLIS/NA Members,
Can it really be possible that two and a half months have elapsed since we met in Toronto? While it’s a cliché to marvel at the fleeting nature of time, I think I can confidently assume that for all of us the dizzying pace of technology and e-communications in the library world makes our days pass too quickly. Now, paradoxically, the longest day of the year, Summer Solstice, looms as an ancient reminder of time’s passage. Those of you in academic surroundings are catching your breathing at the end of the semester, while all of us are no doubt making plans for summer projects at work, and hopefully for some leisure time in the months ahead. Some great developments have transpired at ARLIS/NA since I was last in contact; I want to share them with you, to bring you up to date with our progress.
[log in to unmask], and her direct phone number is (414) 768-8000 x136. Please join me in welcoming Guadalupe to our Society’s management team. I hope many of you will be able to work with her in the coming year. Paul Rossmann of TEI served as our Interim Conference & Association Manager over the past few months, and I thank him for his very capable support and help during this period. He will continue to be involved with ARLIS/NA while he works closely to train and assist Guadalupe in her new position.

Meanwhile, things are always happening with ARLIS/NA. I encourage you to visit the website often to keep up to date with the latest news. Our website editor Nedda Ahmed and News Editor Carol Graney do a terrific job at keeping things fresh and relevant. Why not go there right now? You’ll see the latest book reviews, information about upcoming events like the SEI Institute and Scandinavian Study Tour, photos from Toronto, and an engaging profile of our colleague Eumie Imm-Stroukoff.
Finally, there is still time to propose a paper, session, or workshop for the 2013 conference in Pasadena. If you have a good idea, just do it! Here’s a link—you have until June 29. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PAS2013PapersSessions
I wish everyone a productive and satisfying summer ahead. Let’s relish every minute of Wednesday’s longest day of the year, and for that matter, every day that follows.
With best regards,
