Reference Roundtable	
Texas Library Association	
April 6, 1979

The annual meeting of the Reference Roundtable of the Texas 
Library Association was held on April 6, 1979 in San Antonio.  
Chairperson Sharlee Jeser (Richland College) called the meeting 
to order and introduced officers Norma Reger (West Texas State 
University), vice-chairman and chairman-elect, and Aubrey George 
(LaRetama Public--Corpus Christi), Secretary-Treasurer.

The membership waived the reading of the minutes and the treasurer's 
report to allow more time for business and the program.

The Roundtable voted its official approval for the group's 
affiliation with ALA's Reference and Adult Services Division's 
Council of State and Regional Groups.

In the election of officers for 1979-80, the membership selected 
John Hepner (Texas Woman's University) as chairman-elect, and 
Linda Sellers (Southern Methodist University) as Secretary-Treasurer.

Ms. Jeser announced that copies of the revised Texas Reference 
Sources were available at the TLA Conference Office.

Ms. Sellers announced that an ACRL Pre-Conference on Bibliographic 
Instruction would be held on the SMU campus June 21-23 prior to the 
ALA annual conference.

Ms. Jeser introduced Diane Horton, counselor at Richland College, 
as the guest speaker.  In her presentation on non-verbal communication, 
Ms. Horton discussed personal space needs, stress, status, signals 
and rituals as they relate to libraries and to life in general.  She 
used slides and audience participation to illustrate her presentation.

The meeting was adjourned.
