IN THE NEWS
C&RL News, December 2006
Vol. 67, No. 11
Fitting for the last issue of the year, the December C&RL News provides a look back at where we’ve been (see the 2005–06 Annual Report) and a glimpse of where we’re headed (see the list of “ACRL Midwinter meetings in Seattle” and “Literary Baltimore”).
Some of the achievements for fiscal 2006 were the ACRL/CNI/EDUCAUSE Joint Virtual Conference, “Innovate and Motivate: Next Generation Libraries,” ACRL’s first wholly online conference held in April 2006; the launch of ACRLog, the official blog of ACRL, written for and by academic and research librarians; and the debut of ALA’s new career site, JobLIST, a joint project of American Libraries, C&RL News, and ALA’s Human Resource Development and Recruitment.
For a complete look at what ACRL was working on in 2005–06, make sure to read the Annual Report.
As we continue to gear up for ACRL’s 13th National Conference (“Sailing into the Future–Charting our Destiny,” March 29–April 1, 2007), articles on different facets of the host city, Baltimore, are featured. This month’s selection, “Literary Baltimore” focuses on places to explore to learn more about Baltimore authors and also provides an overview of the wide-ranging bookstores the city has to offer.
This month’s Internet Resources installment on scholarly communication will help you locate information related to all aspects of the subject, including contextual overviews, stakeholders’ perspectives, and library education and advocacy.
To help you get started with planning your schedule for the Midwinter Meeting, a list of ACRL events and meetings in Seattle is included in this issue.
