Letter

Gover gets credit for coining phrase

To the Editor:

Thanks to everyone in ACRL who provided a summary report of their programs in Miami (“ACRL in Miami: Taking the Network Plunge,” September 1994). We are also pleased to note that ACRL liked the title of our Extended Off-Campus Library Services Section (ECLSS) program enough to use it in the heading of the report. As chairperson of the ECLSS Program Committee for Miami, I was honored to be able to work with a number of individuals who helped make our program a huge success. I would like especially to recognize the person who created the name “Taking the Network Plunge”: Harvey Gover, branch campus librarian at Washington State University and a member of the Planning Committee.—Thomas E. Abbott, dean, Learning Resources and University Development, University of Maine at Augusta
