This year’s Annual Meeting in Seattle was extremely successful thanks to members of the Executive Board and Education Committee, including Keiko Okuhara, Karen Selden, Michael Maben, Georgia Briscoe, and chaired by Chris Tarr. Let me applaud them for the job well done. A Standing Ovation is due here! Our programs were well received and attended. I hope to make the San Antonio Annual Meeting even better. Please volunteer to help us organize next year’s conference. The Online Bibliographic Special Interest Section (OBS-SIS) is still looking for program ideas. October 7th is the deadline for submitting proposals. We are all very busy volunteers, so we definitely could use some help. Do not be shy, step outside your boundaries, it is well worth it, and your colleagues will thank you for it. We may also award you with a special certificate for contributions to OBS-SIS. You never know. This year, OBS-SIS awarded eight certificates to our very special members, including Chris Tarr, Hollie White, Karen Selden, Tim Knight, Marjorie Crawford, Barbara Szalkowski, Virginia Bryant, and Corrine Jacox. One is still owed to Keiko Okuhara. I would like to thank the Ad Hoc Committee members who updated the OBS-SIS Strategic Plan. It was approved during the OBS-SIS Business Meeting in Seattle held Sunday, July 14, 2013. Thanks go to OBS-SIS Past Chairs Betty Roeske, Chris Tarr, Michael Maben, Georgia Briscoe, and former Member-at-Large, Keiko Okuhara. It was my pleasure to chair this group for they were a delightful group with which to work. See OBS-SIS’s new strategic plan at http://www.aallnet. org/sections/obs/documents/strategicplan.html. The 2013-2014 OBS-SIS agenda is as follows: 1. Update the Procedure Manual for the benefit of our officers. I want to encourage our current and past chairs of OBS-SIS committees to work on the updates together. Since things change as time goes by, documents like this need to be kept current. 2. Update the OBS-SIS Bylaws at http://www.aallnet.org/sections/obs/documents/procedures-manual/bylaws.html. However, my understanding is that the American Association
