Please provide credit to the ALA Washington Office when citing. Appropriations, FY 1992 Eileen Cooke testified on May 14 before the House Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations Subcommittee in support of ALA's recommendations for funding of library and related programs. She called special attention to the HEA II-B library fellowship and research program, because the shortages of librarians and library educators had been so amply documented in recent testimony by ALA witnesses on reauthorization of the Higher Education Act. ACTION NEEDED: HEA II-B could help to alleviate the shortages in the library field if it were more adequately funded. Library educators, library employers facing shortages, and all library supporters are urged to write immediately to the members of the House and Senate Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations Subcommittees. The message: PROVIDE $5 MILLION FOR THE HIGHER EDUCATION ACT TITLE II-B LIBRARY EDUCATION AND RESEARCH PROGRAM IN FY 1992. The timing is urgent, because the House subcommittee may meet to make its recommendations early in June. This is the last chance to write to these subcommittees concerning funding of all Department of Education library programs. Higher Education Act Reauthorization The Senate Education, Arts, and Humanities Subcommittee concluded its hearings on reauthorization of the Higher Education Act with a May 23 hearing on "non-student aid" issues, covering several HEA titles including library programs. Merrily Taylor, Brown University Librarian from Chairman Claiborne Pell's home state of Rhode Island, testified on behalf of ALA and the Association of Research Libraries. Her testimony covered the full range of ALA and ARL recommendations on HEA. Taylor also supported S. 1099, a bill introduced on May 17 by Sen. Paul Sarbanes (D-MD) to reauthorize HEA II-B at the increased amounts recommended by ALA. In introducing S. 1099, Sen. Sarbanes cited that "the growing shortage of librarians and library educators is of special concern in an increasingly information-based society"; and that "assistance with the cost of the advanced education required for librarianship would help to alleviate such shortages." (Refer to the May 17 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, pp. S6110-11.) ************************************************************************* ALCTS BOOTH IN ATLANTA Kathleen Schweitzberger is still looking for volunteers to help in the ALCTS Booth at ALA in Atlanta.

If you cannot accept the appointment, please notify the Vice-President (Arnold Hirshon) or the appropriate section Vice-Chair. If you volunteered for an ALCTS committee but have not yet received a form, there is still a possibility that a vacancy might become available on one of your requested committees and that an appointment is still forthcoming. There was a large number of volunteers for appointments and it was, of course, impossible to fill all requests. However, ALCTS remains committed to getting new people involved in the work of the division and we will endeavor to locate internships and appointments for those who do not yet have an appointment. If you have any questions, please contact me at: ahirshon@desire.wright.edu (internet) or ahirshon@wsu.bitnet ************************************************************************* LATE MEETING ANNOUNCEMENTS ***** Hearing on Acquisition Guide ***** The Guides Subcommittee of the Resources Section Acquisitions committee will be holding a hearing on the GUIDE TO PRESERVATION IN ACQUISITION PROCESSING, at the ALA Annual Conference in Atlanta.
