OOPS!! A slip-up accursed concerning the nominating process for officers for 1995/96. The Bylaws state that there must be three on the nominating committee (instead of two), and there must be two people on the slate for each office (Instead of one). To meet these requirements, revisions have been made as indicated below. Please note: In the interest of save paper, Mographical sketches are included only for the nominees. Refer to the previous newsletter for sketches of the others.

Ms. Dillard states: "I will enjoy being a librarian and part of that enjoyment is derived from participation in TLA and the Catalogers Round Table. Cataloging and catalogers play a vital role in providing adequate access to the burgeoning wealth of resources available online and in print. By participating in the Catalogers Round Table, we catalogers have chosen to share our knowledge and expertise with each other and with other members of our profession. This opportunity to network with others is one of the greatest benefits to being a member of TLA and the Catalogers Round Table. It is an honor to be nominated, and I look forward to serving the members of the Catalogers Round Table."
