Until such a determination is made, the Research and Policy Committee will not evaluate additional reference titles. Publications Committee Raquel Cogell is updating the AFAS web site. The web site, which is currently based at Kent State University, will migrate to the ALA Web server. In the interim period, the site will be based at Emory University. AFAS members will have the opportunity to view the updated site before it becomes official.
Plans are also underway for an electronic version of the newsletter.
A print version of the newsletter will continue to be published, with the hopes of eventually phasing it out. The committee is planning to include reviews of books, CD-ROM products, Web sites, and is also interested in any additional article ideas from the membership. Mary Wrighten will inquire with Gladys Smiley Bell as to the feasibility of setting up a list of just AFAS members. Also, not all members of the AFAS Executive Committee are subscribed to the AFAS-L Executive list. Participation in the group is open to anyone interested in improving access to African American resources.
