Committee or Julie Reese, ALCTS Events Manager.<br><br>

<h1><b><a name="news4"></a>Mea Culpa Moment and an Apology</b></h1>We
have discovered an extraordinarily embarrassing mistake on the cover and
title page of the new <i>Preservation Manager’s Guide to Cost
Analysis.</i> We left out the word “Library” in our own name. The name is
correct in the CIP. Sincerest apologies to the authors who worked very
hard on this very important publication and to Jeanne Drewes who
shepherded it through the process.--Charles Wilt, Executive Director,
ALCTS<br><br>
<h1><b><a name="news4"></a>Volunteering in ALCTS</b></h1>There are always
lots of questions about volunteering in ALCTS. Look for the June “From
the Office” article in the <i>ALCTS Newsletter Online (ANO).<br>
</i>LOOKING AHEAD <br><br>
<h1><b>ALCTS Deadlines</b></h1>After the ALA Annual Conference, the
Office begins the switch over to the New Year. We run a July 1-June 30
meeting year. The ALA fiscal year is September 1 (FYI).<br><br>
Among the tasks:
<ul>
<li>Web rosters will be updated July 1.
<li>Discussion lists will be updated throughout July. (This is a manual
operation so it takes time.)
<li>The preparation work for the 2006-2007 ALA Handbook takes place in
July. Some committees start their work: the ALCTS Board of Directors,
Awards Juries, Nominating Committee, and a few section committees.
<li>Also, the new Board of Directors takes office. Bruce Johnson assumes
the ALCTS Presidency. New Section Chairs are: Trisha Davis, Acquisitions;
David Miller, CCS; Linda Phillips, CMDS, Nancy Kraft, PARS, Emily
McElroy, Serials and for CRG, Elaine Yontz.
