More than 200 exhibitors will show case their new est prod ucts and services. Take some time to review the program as i is described in this issue.

I am looking for volunteers to summarize some of the programs at the National Confer­ s y ­ y r d ­ ­ ­ ­ t ­ ­ ence for future issues of C&RL News. Details are given on page P-13. If you are interested please contact me. Our series of Internet resource lists contin­ ues in this issue with a compilation on the law by Brian Striman and Corinne Ja co x . Paul Adalian gives us a look at the fancy technology to teach research in place at Cal Poly. (Special thanks to Paul and Je ff Delarm who worked hard to get us the best graphic replications of their screen images. This is a case in which the black-and-white print does not adequately con­ vey the full-color screens in use but hopefully it will give you a good idea of what is pos­ sible.) Many thanks are due to Eldon Tamblyn who continues to tirelessly index C&RL News for ACRL. This year he has recruited an assistant— Kathy Dusky— who has graciously provided us with the first machine-readable file o f the in­ dex. We appreciate the hard work of volun­ teers like these. — Mary Ellen K.
