April 2004 Information Outlook - Part II

SLA's Information Outlook is looking for articles for the coming months. General guidelines are here. The print ad for contributions includes a basic editorial calendar of topics, and September is devoted to "Copyright issues".

Well, my general feelings on the matter are, "Yippee-ki-yi-ya ..." What to do with this information beyond waiting impatiently for this issue is another thing. I'm tempted to attempt something, despite that facts that 1) I've never worked in a special library, so how would I know what copyright issues affect them on a practical basis and 2) what on earth could I say that Laura Gasaway couldn't say better?

And then it occurred to me that I hadn't heard anything about Tasini for a while, and I started wondering about how newsrooms were coping. I've been rather distracted lately, but it might be an avenue worth pursuing. No promises, though.

Do it! You can work something up. I'd be tempted if I were even remotely interested in Special libraries.

And yes, Lolly is pretty much the bomb. We're pretty lucky to have her over here. :-)
