I just received the May/June issue of _American Libraries_ in the mail. The entire issue should be an attractive read for most AJL members. Of special interest to me were the articles "Transforming Libraries...continued" and "Community Reference; Making libraries indispensable in a new way" by Colbe Galston, Elizabeth Kelsen Huber, Katherine Johnson, and Amy Long. I hope that enough of you will have read either these articles or others that we can discuss them, either informally during the meals, but especially during the Mentor Mingle Sunday evening. I think it would greatly benefit our organization and our libraries if we could get a core of willing professionals to focus on Jewish library transformation. Our speakers will certainly be addressing some of these issues.
Looking forward to Pasadena. There will be door prizes for participants at the Mentor Mingle. Stephanie (Sara Leah) Gross MSLIS, MATESOL Chair, AJL Mentoring Pollack Library Yeshiva University 500 West 185th Street New York NY 10033-3229 212.960.5442
