ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries

cause that is where the vitality of the profession will 
continue to be concentrated. The present operat­
ing agreement is an excellent working tool, but it 
must continue to be discussed and modified to 
support what the members want to do. I expect to 
continue to see strong ACRL programs, and to 
participate in them.

My roots in ACRL are deep. I have been a 
member since I joined ALA, and ACRL represents 
my primary divisional affiliation. I have written 
three articles for College and Research L ibraries, 
and I have spoken to more state ACRL chapters 
and on more college and university campuses than

I can remember. Much of my research and writing 
centers on issues faced by academic librarians of 
professional status, of funding, of technology—and 
of course these are all interrelated. Probably my 
most consistent message on behalf of academic li­
brarians as president of ALA would be to try to 
show academic administrators that in times of 
funding scarcity, of network development, and of 
resource sharing opportunities, it is not the size of 
the collection but more importantly the quality and 
support o f the librarians that determine the effec­
tiveness of the library and its ability to serve its 
users. ■  ■
