DUALabs under contract to the Center for Re­
search Libraries in accordance with the NSF

The formal presentations will be brief. They 
will be designed to provide orientation to li­
brarians, many of whom will be familiar only 
with the printed products of the Bureau of the 
Census, but who, in order to provide a more 
complete reference service, would like to learn

more about a whole new resource available to 
them. After their presentations the panelists 
will attempt to answer questions from the au­
dience.

JUNIOR MEMBERS 
ROUND TABLE

JMRT has some exciting plans for the 
June conference in Chicago. We invite all ALA 
members who one of our projects interests to 
join us for fun, professional improvement, and 
a better ALA.

JMRT’s annual orientation session will fea­
ture a press conference this year. The editors 
of American Libraries, Wilson Library Bulle­
tin, Library Journal and School Library Journal 
have been invited to share their predictions 
for the conference and interview members of 
the ALA Executive Board and COPES. It 
should be an enlightening experience.

JMRT is planning the first child care facilities 
for an ALA conference. Professional chil­
dren’s consultants will be employed to care 
for the children during the day assisted by li­
brarian volunteers. Infants through fourteen- 
year-olds will be accommodated, with trips 
through nearby museums for the older chil­
dren. If you are interested in using the ser­

vice or assisting JMRT in maintaining, contact 
Nancy Schimmel, San Mateo County Library, 
Relmont, CA 94022.

Another exciting project sponsored by JMRT 
is a daily convention newspaper. Reporters will 
attend assigned meetings and submit reports 
for the newspaper which will be edited and 
prepared each evening. ALA headquarters has 
generously offered its producing facilities and 
staff for the printing phase which will be com­
pleted each morning at the ALA headquar­
ters. Three thousand copies will be distributed 
to ALA attendees daily, Sunday through Fri­
day.

It is hoped that this newssheet will promote 
a better understanding of conference activities. 
The newssheet will communicate to the mem­
bership the events of the preceding day and 
a highlight of the forthcoming day’s activities 
in an objective and factual capsulized format. 
Anyone interested in participating in any 
phase of this project should contact Catherine 
O’Connell, Linthicum Library, 400 Shipley 
Road, Linthicum, MD 21090. ■ ■
