This months’ New Realities, New Relationships 
article focuses on the relationship between library 
education and library practice. In “The ivory tower 
as preparation for the trenches” (p. 172), Robert

Holley explores the four primary areas o f con­
cern: program name, the curriculum, theory ver­
sus practice, and accreditation.

For an example o f an uncommon place a 
library degree can take you within an academic 
institution, see the Jo b  o f a Lifetime column (p. 
176) to find out what it’s like to work as an 
informationist in a biomedical library.

This issue’s Internet Resources column (p. 163) 
focuses on archives and special collections, pro­
viding a list o f Web resources to help special col­
lections librarians and archivists keep abreast of 
the latest trends in the field.

Learn more about the candidates for ALA presi­
dent by reading their responses to a set o f ques­
tions put forth by the ACRL Board (p. 182). Also 
provided is a list o f ACRL members running for 
ALA council (p. 190); voting for these candidates
