Please EVERYONE, check your supplemental before going to a meeting!!! ************************************************************************* 1992 ALCTS PRESIDENT'S PROGRAM PROCEEDINGS PUBLISHED ALCTS announces the publication of _After the Electronic Revolution, Will You be the First to Go?_, the proceedings of the 1992 Association for Library Collections & Technical Services President's Program held on 29 June 1992 at the American Library Association Annual Conference in San Francisco, CA. The editor of the publication and 1991-1992 President of ALCTS is Arnold Hirshon, University Librarian at Wright State University in Dayton Ohio. This President's Program was inspired by the pioneering work of those who have spoken and written about paradigm shifts, such as Thomas Kuhn and Joel Barker. In an introductory chapter on "The Convergence of Publishing and Bibliographic Access," Hirshon provides the general perspective for the proceedings and sets forth a general premise that information access is moving from an indirect two-stage process of searching-then-retrieving information to a direct process where the search of the index and the delivery of information is done virtually at the same time. The keynote speaker, Theodor Holm Nelson, addresses the changes in electronic communication and observes that the system of literature of which librarians have been the guardians is indeed undergoing a paradigm shift. Nelson asserts that we are moving from a system of providing whole documents to one where the user purchases only separate pieces, with the quoted material bought from the publisher at the moment of request and with automatic royalty payment to the author. Peter S. Graham, Associate University Librarian for Technical and Networked Information Services at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, writes about "Intellectual Preservation in the Electronic Environment." Thomas Duncan, Faculty Assistant for the Museum Informatics Project and Associate Professor of Integrative Biology at the University of California at Berkeley, writes on the "Implementation of Electronic Information Systems in Universities and the Implications for Change in Scholarly Research." In addition, Susan K. Martin, University Librarian at Georgetown University, in "Librarians on a Tightrope: Getting from Here to There and Loosening Up in the Process," explicates the Council for Library Resources funded "Strategic Visions Statement." These proceedings challenge all librarians to be electronic revolutionaries. It is up to the reader to decide whether after the electronic revolution, will you be the first to go? "After the Electronic Revolution, Will You be the First to Go?" (ISBN 0-8389-7650-6) is $18.00 pbk., ALA member price $16.20. To place an order, please contact the ALA Order Department, 50 East Huron St., Chicago, IL 60611; telephone 800-545-2433, press 7.

These studies are conducted annually by the ALCTS Library Materials Price Index Committee and provide librarians with information needed for budgeting. These studies have been published in Library Journal in prior years. The indices will continue to be published in the Bowker Annual as a supplement to the publication in American Libraries. One goal of the American Library Association, which publishes American Libraries, is to provide librarians with the critical tools they need to manage libraries effectively and to provide those tools in a consistent, reliable and affordable manner. The article on U.S. periodicals will be written by Adrian Alexander and Katherine Carpenter. Mark Sandler will write the article on U.S. serials. ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* ALCTS NETWORK NEWS (ISSN 1056-6694) is published irregularly by the Association for Library Collections & Technical Services, a division of the American Library Association.
