As you begin your new academic year, so
too, does ACRL ramp up for its new program
year. ACRL President Betsy Wilson is focus­
sing on “community and collaboration,” and
she kicks off a yearlong series of articles on
this theme on page 698. Betsy reminds us that
the lone American hero/heroine should no
longer be our ideal; rather we should be striv­
ing for collaborative leadership.

ACRL members are also hard at work de­
veloping programs for the ACRL National
Conference in Denver, March 15-18, 2001.
Read about the exciting lineup of keynote
speakers selected (page 695) and begin plan­
ning your Denver travels with the “desktop
travelogue” provided by Ellen Greenblatt
(page 691). Registration for the conference
will begin on the ACRL Web site in mid-Sep-
tember.

 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 

With this issue I’d like to welcome Joni 
Roberts and Carol Drost of Willamette Uni­
versity to the pages of C&RL News as the new 
editors of the “Internet Reviews” column. Joni 
and Carol have both enjoyed writing for a 
variety of publications and we are excited to 
have the chance to put their talents to work 
for C&RL News. I know they are eager to work 
with you, so let them know if you have a 
resource you’d like to suggest for review.

This issue includes a variety of ACRL busi­
ness: a report on the Board of Directors’ ac­
tions (page 678), draft revisions of a stan­
dard and guideline (page 704), and a call for 
nominations/applications for ACRL’s many 
awards (page 702). Take a moment to nomi­
nate a deserving colleague for an ACRL award.
