In the News
“I definitely feel that I have expanded my 

professional and personal horizons by attend­
ing this conference,” wrote Judith Cmero in 
her evaluation of ACRL’s 7th National Confer­
ence in Pittsburgh, March 29-April 1, 1995.

Cmero’s evaluation seems typical o f the 
many positive comments coming into the ACRL 
office. ACRL’s 7th National Conference, attract­
ing 2,721 attendees, was a success! A brief re­
port appears in News from the Field and sum­
maries of many of the conference programs 
will appear in the June issue of C&RL News.

ACRL members work hard to provide an 
interesting array of programs whether they are 
for the National Conference or for ALA’s An­
nual Conference. In this issue we have a spe­
cial pullout section listing all of the ACRL-spon
sored programs and meetings (as of press time) 
that will take place in Chicago at the Annual 
Conference, June 22– 28, 1995.

The ACRL Publications Committee invites 
you to stop by and meet the ACRL editors at 
the ACRL Membership Booth during the An­
nual Conference. A schedule is given on page

333 at the conclusion o f Richard Werking’s 
overview of the ACRL publications program.

This issue includes reports from three other 
conferences. Irene Hoffman tells us about the 
AAHE’s teaching, learning, and technology 
roundtables on page 326. Hoffman and Amy 
Sherman Smith share fundraising tips and in­
formation about a new listserv in their reports 
on pages 328–329- Elizabeth Smith reports on 
the changes happening in Eastern European 
libraries gleaned from an international semi­
nar on library management (page 324).

Our Internet resources series resumes this 
month with a look at the earth sciences thanks 
to Flora Shrode Cobb and Edward F. Lener 
(page 319).

Because many o f us spend hours at our 
keyboards as a result of the Internet and other 
automated work, this issue includes an article 
on ergonomic safety written by Teri Switzer 
(page 314).
