COMPUTER VIRUS UPDATE
More than 50 campus IBM PCs were infected by the Stoned or Mari-
juana virus last month. This virus infects floppy disks by in-
stalling itself in the boot record, and it infects hard disks by
installing itself in the Master Boot Record. The Master Boot
Record is used to describe the attributes of the hard disk, but
it is not used to boot DOS, so a computer with a hard disk infec-
tion can still be initialized or booted.
Symptoms of this virus include being unable to boot or initialize
from a floppy disk, and getting the message "Your PC is now
stoned!" Software packages may become unusable when the virus
infects the hard disk.
The virus does not affect IBM PS/2s or 3.5" floppy disks.
If you suspect your PC has been infected by this, or any other,
virus, contact a Micro Lab consultant at 107 McVey Hall, 257- y
2207, or notify your local micro lab manager immediately.
Jack Coffman, the UKCC's computing security officer, can also
help identify and eradicate most known viruses. He can be
reached at 257-2273, UKA051@UKCC.UKY.EDU, 218 McVey Hall.

ALS NEEDS WHCLIS II DELEGATE—CANDIDATES
Kentucky will send a sixteen-person delegation (twelve voting
members, four alternates) to the second White House Conference on
Library and Information Services in Washington, D.C. in July
1991. A quarter of the delegation (three voting, one alternate)
will represent the Commonwealth's library and information profes-
sionals. The remainder of the delegation will come from library
supporters (friends and trustees), government officials, and the
general public.
Each of the five sections of KLA will propose two candidates for
the final delegation. This group of ten librarians will work
intensively on issue development and public education throughout
the rest of this year. At the KLA fall conference, the theme of
which will be "AND WE'RE OFF: RACING TOWARDS THE SECOND WHITE
HOUSE CONFERENCE," attention will be focused on the WHCLIS themes
of democracy, literacy, and productivity (expressed in Kentucky
as education, literacy, and economic development). An election
at the conference in Lexington will determine the six library
members of the Kentucky delegation (three voting members plus
first, second, and third alternates). These people will continue
to work on issues and concerns to take to Washington.
The Academic Section will hold an election at its April meeting
at Lake Cumberland to select the two librarians to represent the
concerns of the college and university library community and to
stand in the election at KLA.
In the winter 1990 (10/1) issue of the Kentucky Department for
Libraries and Archives Keynote, page 3, is an article about the
work of the KLA WHCLIS II Steering Committee. This group, which
includes Brad Grissom, has been doing the preliminary work on the
conference since its establishment last fall.
