    Edith,

    I see two things I had wrong in my WAML liaison report.  There were two hosts for the meeting in Vancouver: Tim Ross and Tom Brittnacher, and the group we're holding the joing meeting with in Oakland is the Western History Association, not the Western Historical Association.

     

    Thanks.

     

    Kathy Rankin

    I noticed -to my surprise,sadly- that i volunteered in Exec Board I last January to see how ALA stood onselling non-ALA publications. I am happy to do so, and can probably still get an answer on it by next week's meeetings -sorry it slipped my mind! Looking for context in the minutes, I see we were discussing changes in Coordinates, which is an online journal. It is open access, so it does not have money collection issues. Did we want to ask ALA to host it on their website? Were we just asking about selling non-ALA publications in general? I feel very foolish, but want to find the answer we need. Kathleen or anyone? Thanks, and again--apologies for my forgetful brain.
