B e ­ cause of her many professional achievements in the areas o f implementing new services, ap­ plying new technologies, and her recognition of the importance of fundraising and position­ ing the library for the future, Irene has been selected to receive ACRL’s highest honor. Con­ gratulations, too, to the eight other individuals and four institutions recognized by ACRL for their contributions to the profession. The win­ ners o f these ACRL awards will be honored by their colleagues during the ALA Annual Con­ ference in Miami this June. See pages 202-206 for details. Take some time to review this issue and be an informed member of ACRL/ALA; it contains many items o f ALA and ACRL business: • A report on the actions of the ACRL Board o f Directors taken at its Midwinter Meetings begins on page 199. • A call for nominations to ACRL office begins on page 213. There are a lot o f oppor­ tunities to participate; the 1994 ACRL ballot contained 87 candidates. ACRL needs your help to ensure that strong candidates are nominated for leadership roles. • Statements from the three candidates for ALA president that are based on discussions during the Midwinter Meeting’s Candidates’ Forum. Read this as you decide how to vote. • The individuals running for ALA Council who are members o f ACRL. Vote for these ACRL members to strengthen ACRL’s voice in the af­ fairs o f the ALA. • Information about the preconferences ACRL will offer on Friday, Ju ne 24, 1994, in Miami during the ALA Annual Conference. Top­ ics include special collections, library instruc­ tion, the Internet, and bibliographic control of conference proceedings. Next month’s issue will also carry impor­ tant association information. Watch for pro­ posed revisions to two important standards. — Mary Ellen K. Davis E ditor & P u blish er u38398@uicvm.uic.edu mailto:u38398@uicvm.uic.edu
