JIM JACKSON
The Library Association has just announced that the winner of the Tom Farries Award for Personal PR Achievement is Jim Jackson, Honorary Secretary, Affiliated members of The Library Association.
"Jim Jackson developed and organised the BookIT project, which took place on 24 June 2000. It aimed to promote the increasingly technological nature of library provision by encouraging librarians to demonstrate the various ways libraries can offer the same text, in this case Shakespeare's A Midsummer Nights Dream."

THE ASSOCIATES BROCHURE IS NOW AVAILABLE!!
Thanks to the hard word of Joy Wanden, the ASSOCIATES brochure that many of you have been requesting is now available. We have absolutely no budget so anyone who would like to hand them out must also print them up. Sorry 'bout that. It is available as a Word 97 file. Just email Kendall Simmons for a copy. One of these days it will be available online as well, but not today.
