Subject: RE: ACRL Serials Pricing Program at ALA (James Mouw)

**Please reply to Marcia Tuttle, not to SERIALST. Thanks -- ed.
_______

Dear Serialists-- Last week Kay Thorne asked whether information from this
session will be made available to those who cannot attend the meeting.
I've checked with Marcia Tuttle and she will be glad to include a
summary of the meeting in the Newsletter on Serials Pricing Issues.  There
is a catch-- she doesn't have a volunteer to write the summary.  If you
do plan on attending this meeting and are interested in writing a summary,
please respond directly to Marcia Tuttle:  tuttle@gibbs.oit.unc.edu

And I will be glad to make my notes available to the reporter.  Thanks
very much for your interest.   October Ivins, LSU Libraries, notori@lsuvm
