 KENTUCKY SOLINET USERS GROUP ,
During last week S KLA annual €0nYentiOn at the Hyatt Regency, The Kentucky SOLINET
q 4 Users group met for its second organizational session. About 40 people from a
B variety of libraries (and departments) were in attendance. Dawn Lamade, assistant
p training coordinator, was also present representing the network office in Atlanta.
Events of the meeting included election of officers, discussion of proposed bylaws
and constitution for the group and a question and answer period in which Dawn re-
sponded to numerous queries from the audience.
Officers elected for 1979/80,are: chair--Gail Kennedy, University of Kentucky;
· secretary——Becky Heath, Jefferson Community College; and treasurer-—Michi Kwak,
Eastern Kentucky University.
An ad hoc com ittee on the constitution will immediately begin writing a document
incorporating suggestions from the~meeting and this will be distributed to the
membership for final approval. Members will also be notified in the next few months
about pians for the next meeting of the Group. Anyone who is interested in the Users
Group but was unable to attend the meeting should contact Gail Kennedy. Welcome
one and all!
KENTUCKY LIBRARY ASSOCIATION MEETING
This was the editor's first attendance at a KLA meeting so perhaps comments should
‘ be sparing (impossible!). Old friends were welcomed (not looking a day older!) and
two delightful new acquaintances were made. One librarian quoted a little boy who
A said, "I always go to the library when I'm confused." Paul Willis chaired a meeting
with his usual savoir—faire. It was a pleasure to see Gail Kennedy elected to run
the new Solinet Users Group (amusingly there was no discussion on a apostrophe for
"Users").
The Intellectual Freedom program was one of the most interesting, though, as Joy
Terhune pointed out, everything that could be said has been said on that subject.
Still one wants to keep up with the success or failure of our fight for freedom
to read. "Catcher in the Rye" continues to lead the list of books that people~want
banned. One town is trying to restore McGuffey's readers to the curriculum!
Complaints about rooms at the Hyatt not being available till 2:00 PM, and in one
instance, 5:00 PM, were heard. Gerry Webb rightly remarked on the aggravation of
conflicting programs. Too many interesting ones were held at the same time on "
i Friday. The price for the banquet seemed a bit steep. The pre- and post—conference
meetings had to be cancelled due to lack of interested people (the registration fee
was really discouraging). °
So there were these poor features at KLA but there were many good ones. Indeed, the
impression left on one of us, at least, is that librarians are still sincere caring
individuals and that is still a worthwhile and satisfying thing to be a librarian
in this day and age in Kentucky.
GREEN BEAN ON HOLIDAY
There will be no issue of the Green Bean for November 23.
