   One thing I didn't mention, and was interesting per other discussion.
Note that this title is still School Library Media QUARTERLY, though it no
longer bears numbering, AND apparently, has no frequency. Interesting.

   I am getting so broadminded in my middle age!

Yes, this is a confusing title and numbering change.  Is there a special
Worst Title Change award when ALA shoots us in the foot?

I have KQ v.26:1,2&4.  My claim for #3(which I clmd in July after receiving
the May/June issue)hasn't been fulfilled yet.  There are supposed to be five
issues per volume, but I suspect that there will be only 4 for volume 26,
unless a July/Sept issue is published.  The numbering of the Sept/Oct issue
will clue us in....
