Thanks for putting up with the delay in beginning the May discussion of Sequels. We've had some technical difficulties on this end. Last Friday Megan posted an opening message to launch the May discussion, but her message bounced back, as did several of my subsequent messages. Our CCBC-Net guardian angel Chris Dowling is working with the system to try to figure out the glitch. I'm sure we've each experienced some kind of glitch from time to time. It goes with the electronic territory, so I know you understand.
Meanwhile, we've had an interesting array of announcements. The official days for announcements of a non-commerical nature are the last and first days of the month.
We'll cease our open announcement time with this message, so we can proceed with the discussion.
However before doing that, there's one more announcement. I've been asked to tell you that on Friday, April 30, the CCBC and I were awarded the 1999 Lee Burress Award for Intellectual Freedom advocacy. This award is given annually by the Wisconsin Council of English/Language Arts in honor of the late Lee Burress, who was a professor of English at the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point and a truly tireless national and regional advocate for academic and intellectual freedom. That the CCBC Intellectural Freedom Information Services and I would be so acknowledged formally is such a great surprise and such a fine honor. The Burress Award honors the mutiple efforts of all former CCBC staff and graduate student employees and those CCBC Advisory Board members who have supported this unique Wisconsin information service since it was founded in 1977. If you have questions or comments, please direct them to me individually, rather than to the entire CCBC-Net community. Everyone else wants to discuss books! So do I!
