UPPER MISSISSIPPI ACADEMIC LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
Meeting for the first time in October 1967, to explore and discuss common library problems, the Upper Mississippi Academic Library Association held its spring meeting on April 29 at Wisconsin State University-La Crosse. The group comprises some dozen academic libraries, public and private, from Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. From the very beginning, the organization has been united in a desire to limit the number of participants to a small informal group. UMALA, which has no officers, follows a planned agendum for each meeting.
During the morning session Ronald E. Wyllys, chief systems analyst of memorial library at the University of Wisconsin, delivered some cogent remarks on “Automation and the Smaller Academic Library” in which he presented a realistic analysis of present and future trends in data processing. In the afternoon the group visited the university computer center for a bravura demonstration of information retrieval. Plans are being made for the fall meeting which will probably be devoted to archival problems.—Roy Nelson Van Note, Wisconsin State University-La Crosse.
