Gary, Even though the anticipation of our loss is palpable, here's to as illustrious a second career as your first one! Best wishes, Gail

Handman signing off... Hi All Well, it has been a little over three months since my retirement from videolibrariandom... An interesting experiment in letting go. I've recently started a part-time (17 hr a week) gig as coodinator of public services for the Judah L. Magnes Museum in Berkeley (www.magnes.org) (now administratively a part of UC Berkeley's Bancroft Library) ...something completely new for me--both exciting and a bit scary. It's a contract job, so I'm on for the next year. Then I'll have to reassess. After a great deal of debate, I think it's probably time for me to pull the plug on my videolib subscription at the end of this week. I'm sad about doing this...seems like such a final break with my beloved professional past. But probably best to move on. Gisele Tanasse, Operations Supervisor in the Berkeley Media Center, will be managing the list after my departure (at least in the short-run). Pls address queries to her at gtana...@library.berkeley.edu My email is hand...@berkeley.edu and I'd love to stay in touch. I'd be glad to continue bouncing ideas around and sharing whatever professional wisdom I have (as long as the shelf-life is still good) with librarian colleagues or with film distributors or makers. Salud!
