Re: Johnston article
Just received the latest issue of _Associates_ and must say that I
thought Jim Johnston's article, "View from the Back Room" was very
funny.
Is it common editorial policy to put the curmudgeonly/humourous
articles at the back of the magazine? I have noticed that most of
my favorite periodicals seem to have adopted this format. Maybe
Jim will become the *humourist laureate* to library support staff,
just as Will Manley is to library professionals.
[Editors' note: For you Jim Johnston fans, Jim is considering writing more
humorous pieces for us. We hope we'll have something for an upcoming issue.]

Dear Editor,
As you are probably aware, the BUBL Information Service carries

all publishers of material which we carry in section E2 of BUBL,
and wish to confirm that you are happy to continue having
Associates on BUBL.

Subject: International exchange programs
Would anyone be interested in writing about acquisitions through
international exchange programs? We would like to learn about
policy and experience within this program. Thank you.
[Editor's note: An article on an international exchange program
will be appearing in the November issue of _ASSOCIATES_.]

Hello all!
My colleague here in technical services is subscribed to
_Associates Electronic Journal_. There must have been some kind of
problem with the transmission of it because she did not receive the
conference/teleconference schedule part of it and received other
parts twice. Can anyone out there send that part to her or tell us
how to get it? We circulate it around our department for everyone
to read.
Thanks for your help. You have brightened my days.
[Editor's note: Ah, those "technical difficulties". Everyone
should finally have received last issue's calendar.]

Re: Linda Putnam's column
I would like to obtain permission to repost Linda Putnam's list of
election/politically related web sites from last week. She says fine - but that
I check with you.
Oh yes, I would be reposting it to a list limited to members of the league of
Women Votes nationwide, lwvtopics.
[Editors' note: _ASSOCIATES_ is always willing to let people repost any item
published, assuming you have the auhor's permission. We do request that you
cite us as the source.]
