This
issue of the Update is dedicated to Fran Golding, a longtime
GHSLA member, outstanding hospital librarian, and friend to many of
us. We will miss her.
GHSLA
has made much progress this year. We have launched a great new web
page - the url currently is: http://www.emory.edu/WHSCL/REFERENCE/ghsla/.
Check it out! Many thanks to Marilyn Barry, our Webmaster, for this
herculean effort, and to Emory for hosting our page on their server
and assisting Marilyn in bringing up the new page.
I am
delighted to report that the Executive Committee has implemented all
of the initiatives in our current strategic plan. The strategic plan
is the mechanism through which GHSLA members tell us where they want
Association resources directed. Now we are asking that you begin brainstorming
to generate ideas for a new strategic plan. Your input will be solicited
at our next annual meeting; please tell us what is important to you
as practicing professionals.
An informative
and exciting annual meeting is planned for April 21-23 at Unicoi State
Park in the beautiful North Georgia mountains. Read all about it in
the Program Committee report. By participating in the annual meetings,
you strengthen the quality and quantity of programs and CE classes
that GHSLA can present. This in turn improves your skills as information
providers to your institutions.
We are
looking for a new GHSLA logo, and are sponsoring a contest to choose
one. Members are invited to submit a logo design for the contest.
You could win free meeting registration for the 1999 annual meeting,
as well as a free nights stay at Unicoi Lodge, if your submission
is chosen as the winner. Details of the contest are in this issue
of the Update.
My wishes
go out to all GHSLA members for a happy holiday, and for this upcoming
final year of the millennium to be your best ever.
-Donna
Trainor, President
