The year 2009 promises to be one of challenge and change for our Section. Already we have seen the impact of the economic situation on the lessening of travel opportunities for some of our members to the Mid-Term meeting and Workshop in Beijing. Hopefully this trend will not continue for the Annual Conference in Milan in August. Much of the change we face is both positive and exciting. Our Section, like all IFLA Sections, will find itself in a new Divi- sion within an organizationally reconfigured IFLA after the Milan Conference. 2009 is an election year for IFLA, including in each of the Section. Members of the Standing Committee should be considering if they wish to run for one of the Officer positions or who they might wish to nominate for one of the two positions (Chair and Secretary/Information Coordina- tor). Some long-time members of the Standing Committee will be rotating off and new members will be coming on. I am concerned that the number of nominations for open posi- tions on our Standing Committee are well below where they should be at this point, but hopefully this will correct itself in due course. Finally, we can look back with satisfaction on 2008, with a very good conference in Québec and the publication of our excellent Gifts for the Collections: Guidelines for Libraries. LYNN SIPE, Chair of the Standing Committee

Editorial

My editorial starts with my apologies because, unfortunately, I will not be able to attend our mid- term meeting in Beijing, due to familiar commitments (preparing for my baby’s arrival). This year it’s time to be back to Asia, three years after the Congress in Seoul. The hosting city and institution sound very exciting, so does the preliminary schedule - at page 14 - plus, the Standing Committee is in great shape, so I hope the lucky attending colleagues will enjoy some fruitful days. Our newsletter did not make it for the Best Newsletter Award, but we don’t mind, do we? This 45- pages issue contains some of the pictures I shot in Québec City and Boston, but...no Italian lessons for Milan, sorry ;) Don’t forget to disseminate the call for paper on e-books for Milan 2009, only a few weeks are left.
