Hi--

Thanks for the information about the conference. I may be on a panel with
some people from Temple University at that one. Ron and I are presenting on
the 23d for the Pennsylvania School Librarians Association (near
Harrisburg); so we'll be hopping.
If nothing else, I'd certainly like to catch some of the presentations--I
hope some of the AM folks will be there.

Evelyn
