The Summer 2003 electronic issue of North Carolina Libraries is in the works. It should be available via the NCLA Web site by the end of July 2003. The Fall 2003 issue will include articles guest edited by Dr. Robert Burgin. The Winter 2003 issue will be the Biennial Conference issue. Chairs of sections and round tables or their designees will be responsible for submitting annual reports, which will include names of outgoing and incoming officers, summaries of workshops and conference programs, and summaries of any decisions made. These annual reports will constitute the text of the Conference issue. Hopefully we will have a photographic essay of Conference events as well.

The new Spring 2003 electronic issue of North Carolina Libraries, along with the three electronic issues for 2002 and the 2002 index are available on the Web at http://www.nclaonline.org/NCL Michael Cotter, Indexer for North Carolina Libraries, is going to prepare an index for each issue as published with cumulations throughout the year. Our thanks to Michael for taking on this duty and making our journal even easier to use!

The print annual for 2002 should have reached your mailboxes by now. If not, send an e-mail to Caroline Walters, NCLA Administrative Assistant, at nclaonline@ibiblio.com

North Carolina Libraries is a quarterly publication appearing in March (Spring), June (Summer), September (Fall), and December (Winter). Deadlines for submission for material for consideration in each quarterly issue are January 1 (Spring), April 1 (Summer), July 1 (Fall), and October 1 (Winter). All articles are juried by the Editor and at least two assistant or associate editors.

We would like to highlight individual North Carolina libraries, particularly newly constructed or renovated facilities. If you would like to submit digital photos in jpeg format of your library for publication in North Carolina Libraries, please send them to me at jonesp@mail.ecu.edu. Please include a brief description of the photos and their importance.

Articles on any topic of interest to librarians are welcomed. The articles for any given issue will no longer have to reflect a common topic or theme. Articles to be considered for publication on the North Carolina Libraries Web site should be sent via e-mail attachment (Word format) to:

The Summer 2003 issue is now in progress.

The Fall 2003 issue will consist of papers edited by Dr. Robert Burgin and the Commission on the Future of the Book.

For the Winter 2003 "Conference" Issue, I would like for all section and roundtable chairs to put together some information for inclusion. Please include the following in a brief, concise report of the activities of your section or roundtable during the 2001-2003 biennium:

1. List of outgoing officers
2. List of new officers
3. Dates, places, of meetings and important decisions made
4. Dates, places, synopses of meetings or workshops held
5. Dates, times, synopses of programs offered at the Biennial Conference

Make a note to send this information to me via e-mail attachment (jonesp@mail.ecu.edu) as soon after the fall conference as possible. I will be reminding you as the time approaches.

I am planning on presenting a program or table talk on "Getting Published in North Carolina Libraries" at the Biennial Conference.
