 LATE-BREAKING NEWS 

New Choice Editor. The ACRL Board of Directors has approved the selection 
of Rebecca Dixon as the next editor of Choice‚ ACRL's review journal for col­
lege libraries published in Middletown, Connecticut. Dixon is currently the 
director of the Library Services Division at the Center for the Study of Youth 
Development, Boys Town, Nebraska, a position she has held since 1975.

Dixon’s experience in the application of technology to a wide variety of 
library operations, her demonstrated management capability coupled with her 
one-year Council on Library Resources internship, and her experience in devel­
oping a significant library collection and services for a newly formed research 
center were the factors that influenced the Search Committee's selection.

Prior to her appointment at Boys Town, Dixon was head librarian at the In­
stitute for Sex Research, Indiana University, Bloomington.

She will assume editorial duties at Choice on August 1.

has announced the participants in its 1982-83 Certificate of Advanced Study in

ginia Polytechnic State Institute and State University; David Lewis, assistant

art librarian, University of Chicago; Mary Joyce Pickett, head of public ser­
vices, Augustana College; Melissa Trevvett, Congressional Research Service, 
Library of Congress; and Lisa Williams, archivist of the Africana Collection,
