News from the TER Editorial Board by Martin R. Kalfatovic

This latest issue of TER, the first of volume 14, brings readers fifteen reviews from our crew of LITA reviewers. Since the last issue, we've seen a few changes to TER. The first is that we've rolled the content into the LITA template. Look for more changes in the layout as we work more with the new ALA content management system, Collage.

Readers of the LITA blog will also notice that we've experimented with putting reviews on the blog ( TER Reviews). I encourage readers to keep on eye on the blog for additional reviews and to also add comments or additional thoughts on the works under consideration.

Thanks to Laura Wrubel, TER Editorial Board member who completed her term at the conclusion of ALA this June.
