College & Research Libraries News
In the News
February is a month for celebrations—and I don’t say that just because I was born in February. It is the time to celebrate Black History Month and C&RL News joins in the celebration by featuring a silkscreen by William H. Johnson on its cover. The work is now in the collections of the Amistad Research Center at Tulane University.
February is also the time to prepare for celebrating the ALA-sponsored National Library Week. In this issue, Linda Wallace and Mary Somerville share with us ideas that can be used to adapt the theme “Kids Connect @ the Library” to the academic environment (page 79). Although it may not need to be adapted; it seems that academic libraries are doing a lot with children these days. A quick e-mail message to only three listservs soliciting examples of how academic libraries worked with children yielded nearly 50 examples in just a few days.
Our Internet resources series continues this month with a look at journalism and communications resources thanks to John Olson and Patience Simmonds (page 86).
Shirley Hallblade shares with us the best musical hot spots in Nashville (page 93). So pack your dancing shoes and sample the musical fun after participating in a full day of programming at ACRL’s 8th National Conference, April 11-14, 1997. Advance registration continues through March 7, 1997. Visit the Web page at http://www.ala.org/acrl.html for program, travel, and registration information.
Take some time to review the draft revision of the ‘‘Guidelines for Extended Academic Library Services” (page 98). Send your comments to Harvey Gover at hgover@beta.tricity.wsu.edu or attend the hearing this month during the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Washington, D.C.
This issue also provides a report of the CNI conference thanks to Bill Miller (page 96).
