Peter announced:

> At ALA's Annual Conference in Chicago, The Gale Group and Linworth
> Publishing will host the first in a series of seminars designed for school
> library leaders.  The "Issues in Education Forum" will focus on issues of
> importance as we educate our children in the information age.
>
> This year's seminar will be held in conjunction with a cocktail and hors
> d'ouervres reception on Sunday, July 9, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.  The topic
> is *Enhancing Information Literacy through Technology* and features
> education technologist Alan November.  Mr. November has been a pioneer in
> the special role of children as important community problem-solvers, and in
> helping schools incorporate technology to enrich education.  Mr. November

What a shame that this wonderful forum is being held simultaneously with
the Newbery/Caldecott Banquet, an event that is a high point of the
conference for so many of us lovers of children's literature!  I'll be
disappointed to miss it.
