If the increased volume of mail is any indication, Access and The Teaching Librarian are not only coming out in a timely manner, they are becoming increasingly useful tools to OLA members. The return of InsideOLA in a print format has been received well and will be a regularly scheduled part of our publication roster in the coming year. The OLA web site, although over two years old, still commands a great deal of personal attention. Although it is very active on some levels, there are many aspects that have not been developed in the way we want. All of OLA's associations have been contributing ideas for its redevelopment this winter.
Plans are well underway.
The Association has recently developed a capacity to host listservs These will improve communication among those of you with specific job interests and with common issues to be explored. The first special interest group to offer a listserv based at OLA is Youth Services. It will be launched this Monday at the already successful workshop featuring Fraser Mustard and Paul Kropp. Development of this new communication program will now move very quickly. Larry Moore, Executive Director.
