    Dear colleagues,

    I want to let you know that I will be retiring from NLM on Dec. 30.  I have been a member of this group for a long time and have appreciated the sharing of information and ideas. I wish everyone well.

     

    After January 1, 2024, Margaret McGhee, Chief of the Collection Branch, will be the NLM representative. Her email is margaret.mcghee@nih.gov.

     

    If someone could please add her to the email list and the ALA group, I'd appreciate it.   

     

    Best wishes,

    Jennifer
