Correction

In the December 2002 issue of C&RL News, the biographical sketch for vice-president/ president-elect candidate John Popko incorrectly stated (page 36) that he was a member of the Budget and Finance committee of LAMA’s Library and Organization Management section (1988-92). He was actually a member of that section’s Comparative Library Organization Committee. It was also incorrectly stated (page 37) that Popko is a current member of the OCLC Users Council, rather than a past member who sat on the council for seven years. The editors regret the errors.
