Thanks to Heidi Estrin for pointing out the link on the ALA web site that has the online Special Midwinter Meeting [January] 2005 issue of Versed: Bulletin of the Office for Diversity American Library Association on "Multicultural Awards for Young Readers, a Brief History" by Sherry York, which cites the Sydney Taylor Book Award and links to the AJL web site.
As a point of information, AJL is mentioned in at least a dozen other places on the ALA web site. A couple of the other more significant cites are found in: 1) "Library Associations Around the World," a Project of the IFLA Management of Library Associations Section, coordinated by the American Library Association, International Relations Office at http://www.ala.org/ala/iro/intlassocorgconf/libraryassociations.htm Last night, I sent them our new mailing and e-mail addresses, and they updated the directory listing this morning. 2) "Additional Links" on the The Asian, African, and Middle Eastern Section AAMES) of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL): http://www.ala.org/ala/acrl/aboutacrl/acrlsections/aames/aamesadditional.htm with a live link from our association's name, which is the heading for the paragraph on AJL, to our web page. Other links lead to past programs co-sponsored by AJL at annual conferences of ALA and IFLA (Jerusalem 2000), and sessions at some AJL Conventions are also mentioned.
