ACRL President’s Letter

Millicenł D. Abell

Dear Colleagues:

Once again the time has arrived when each of us reviews our participation in professional associations for the current vear, evaluates the worth of that participation, and makes decisions on the commitment of our time, energy and money to professional memberships for the coming year.

My purpose in writing to you at this time is to express my conviction that sustained membership in the Association of College and Research Libraries is a particularly appropriate and important commitment for academic librarians, because ACRL serves as an invaluable focal point for our common experiences and efforts.

As academic librarians we all know the challenge and excitement of involvement in higher education. We all know, too, the endless complexities of delivering quality library services in support of higher education. ACRL provides a vital forum for the review and resolution of issues common to all of us. Moreover, as the nation’s largest and most important association of librarians from the whole range of institutions of higher education, ACRL represents the interests of academic libraries and librarians to a varietv of private and public, national and international groups.

A review of the past year’s efforts and accomplishments by ACRL provides gratifying evidence of the Association’s responsiveness to the program needs of academic librarians.

CONFERENCES: With the Council on Postsecondary Education, ACRL sponsored a June invitational conference on “Libraries and Accreditation in Institutes of Higher Education.” The proceedings will be published in early 1981. In the meantime, planning continues for the Minneapolis ACRL conference, “Options for the ’80s,” to be held September 30 to October 3, 1981, and approval has been gained for a third national ACRL conference, to be held in Seattle in spring, 1984.
