Ms. Dahl-Hansen was asked by the News to 
her professional outlook. Her comments 

Wow: "I like to emphasize my long-term com­
llilment to regional cooperative ventures such 
• the Colorado Academic Libraries Book Proc­
aing Center ( CALBPC) and the Inland Em­

Academic Libraries Cooperative ( IEALC) 
Riverside. IEALC currently provides bor­

privileges for six 4-year academic insti­
llllons withiii a thirty mile radius. We hope to 

the cooperative to include the several 
Clllnmunity colleges within the area as well as 

al other 4-year schools further away. The 
is built on a common ID card. We also 

to include other ideas such as a clearing­
for expensive purchases. While none of 

is startling or new, it takes a large measure 
COnuni.tment, hard work, and faith to over­

initial obstacles and the spirit of isolation-
• which has existed for so long.
�ther growing interest is personnel ad­

ation. I am a member of the UC Staff 
nnel Board, a five-member group which 

President Hitch on all new policy pro­
for staff personnel, including relations 

� 
employee organizations. 
\Vo favorite topics of mine for academic

are ( 1 ) development of an outreach 
of reference service; and ( 2) library

People 

instruction programs designed for the juniors, 
seniors, and beginning graduate students which 
emphasize the specialized bibliography of par­
ticular subject disciplines. 

"My publications include several RTSD ar­
ticles in past years and a cookbook. I concen­
trate my prose efforts now on exploring univer­
sity i�sues."
