After retiring from his post next year, Jackson plans to teach in Indiana U niversity’s Graduate Library School, edit a new journal on library ad ministration and an annual library publication se ries, and write a book about his sixty-one-day solo crossing of the Atlantic in a thirty-foot ketch last summer.
