- Pamela Day - a dear friend from Lawrence. And here's more of her work from the Graphics Atelier.

A major focus of the initiative will be to determine a transition path for the MARC 21 exchange format in order to reap the benefits of newer technology while preserving a robust data exchange that has supported resource sharing and cataloging cost savings in recent decades. . . This web site will be the official location for information, announcements, and resources related to this initiative.
