ACRL President Mary Reichel will lead the discussion and high­ light her theme o f learning communities and excellence in academic libraries. In the November 2001 issue o f C&RL News, Don Frank, Sarah Beasley, and Susan Kroll provided an overview of learning com­ munities in higher education with examples o f successful programs that involved librar­ ians.1 Learning communities can be char­ acterized as the coming together o f indi­ viduals in the spirit o f exploration and learn­ ing in an interdisciplinary environment. Along with the deep learning that occurs over time is a development o f a mutual re­ sponsibility for the community.2 The Monday forum at Midwinter will fo­ cus on how ACRL, acting as a learning com­ munity through its sponsored programs and activities, has promoted excellence in aca­ demic library services. Specific examples of how libraries have benefited by ACRL pro­ grams will be presented. This is a great op­ portunity for ACRL members to come to­ gether as a learning community to share their stories about the kinds o f programs ACRL has supported and to discuss their participation in specific learning communi­ ties on their campuses. Come and find out more about learning communities and ACRL. Network with other academic librar­ ians. The discussion forum will be held on Monday, January 21, 2002, from 9:30-11 a.m. Check the Midwinter Meeting calendar for location.—Jill Newby, Science Librarian, Weber State University, jnewby@weber.edu.
