ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries April 1991/ 245 cause that is where the vitality of the profession will continue to be concentrated. The present operat­ ing agreement is an excellent working tool, but it must continue to be discussed and modified to support what the members want to do. I expect to continue to see strong ACRL programs, and to participate in them. My roots in ACRL are deep. I have been a member since I joined ALA, and ACRL represents my primary divisional affiliation. I have written three articles for College and Research L ibraries, and I have spoken to more state ACRL chapters and on more college and university campuses than I can remember. Much of my research and writing centers on issues faced by academic librarians of professional status, of funding, of technology—and of course these are all interrelated. Probably my most consistent message on behalf of academic li­ brarians as president of ALA would be to try to show academic administrators that in times of funding scarcity, of network development, and of resource sharing opportunities, it is not the size of the collection but more importantly the quality and support o f the librarians that determine the effec­ tiveness of the library and its ability to serve its users. ■ ■ Candidates for ALA Council These ACRL members need your vote. T he following members of the Association of College and Research Libraries are either nominated or petition candidates for ALA councilor in the spring 1991 elections.
