In addition, I wish to recognize those who are essential to producing the issues that arrive in your mailboxes every month: Tim Clifford, our production editor, and the rest of the staff at ALA Production Services, and Christine Taylor, our ALCTS staff liaison. Of course, we would not have a journal without contributing authors or book reviewers. If a paper or review engages you, send the author or authors a note. Their e-mail addresses are published with their papers. Letters to the editor are always welcome. I hope you will have an opportunity to thank your colleagues listed here for their important contributions to the continuing success of Library Resources and Technical Services.
