The vacation begins with the publication of this issue. Somewhat more regular publication of AN2 will begin again after September 21, 1992. Please continue to send material for those issues, however. All submissions will be held and prepared for inclusion as quickly as possible. (The editor is again going to IFLA, where she hopes there will not be any political activities as interesting as last year's coup!) ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* ALCTS NETWORK NEWS (ISSN 1056-6694) is published irregularly by the Association for Library Collections & Technical Services, a division of the American Library Association.
