FROM THE PRESIDENT
Steven Miller
I am amazed that the past year has gone by so quickly and that I already find myself writing my final column as OLAC President. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to have served OLAC in this office.
First of all, I would like to extend my congratulations to OLAC’s newly-elected officers: Bobby Bothmann as Vice President/President Elect and Kate James as Treasurer.
I would also like to express my special thanks and deep gratitude to John Attig for his many years of service as OLAC’s Liaison to MARBI. Please join the Board and me in congratulating John on his recent appointment as ALA’s Representative to the Joint Steering Committee for the Revision of AACR. I would also like to extend my appreciation to Kelley McGrath, current CAPC Chair, for her willingness to fill in as temporary MARBI Liaison for the upcoming ALA meeting this summer.
The year ahead promises to be a full one for OLAC. Among many other activities, a small working group will explore updating the "look and feel" of the OLAC Website. Also, as usual, the Cataloging Policy Committee has several projects underway. And, OLAC members continue to contribute to the review of drafts of RDA, bringing the perspective of Internet and AV media catalogers to the development of the new cataloging rules.
I hope to see many of you in June at the CAPC and OLAC Membership meetings at the ALA Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.
