State Librarian Jim Nelson offers the following invitation: "As each state prepares for the Second White House Conference on Libary and Information Services, we all share the common goal: 'to develop recommendations for the further improvement of the library and information services of the Nation and their use by the public...' "That's a tall order, but not an impossible one. In Kentucky, preparations for the White House conference are being coordinated by KDLA, and more than 100 volunteers are contributing their time, ideas and expertise. Many KLA members have participated in the process already, and we hope that every member will now take part by attending and speaking up at the KLA 1990 Conference, 'And We're Off...Racing Towards the Second White House Conference.' There you will learn more about White House Conference activities and, most important, have a chance to share your ideas about the recommendations which Kentucky's delegation will take to Washington next July. "We look forward to seeing you in Lexington." The October 24th Pre—Conference topics will include "Disaster Preparedness," "Lotus for Librarians," and "Basic Word Processing (Word Perfect) Using a Lap Top Computer." The Post—Conference workshop, on October 27th, is entitled "Planning for Excellence: Guidelines for School Media Library Programs." Registration booklets and further information is available from the Kentucky Library Association, 1501 Twilight Trail, Frankfort, KY 40601. ° NEW APPOINTMENT Cheryl Jones, of the Law Library, has been appointed to the State Archives and Records Commission.

PATS ON THE BACK FOR ROB AKEN The following letters were received, thanking Rob Aken for a job well—done: From Roger Anderson, Professor & Chair, Department of Russian and Eastern Studies: "I wanted to write you a short note to convey how pleased I have been with one of your staff people. Robert Aken, acting Head of Reference at King, has been most knowledgeable in helping me put some research problems into motion. The results have been excellent. He showed me things about using the computer system which I would otherwise never have found out. Also, his explanations to me —- and to other patrons whom I have noticed him assisting —— were direct and clear. Even a bronze age academic like me could understand him. From what I can gather, computerization of library services is going along very well with sever exciting possibilities on the horizon. Congratulations on the movement! At the same time, having someone like Mr. Aken available to help patrons understand and take advantage of the computer facilities we do have at present is a real plus for the library system." From J. John Harris III, Professor and Dean, College of Education: "This memorandum is to serve as a formal thank you for the informative and instructive tour of the M.I. King Library this afternoon. I know that with the beginning of the semester, many demands are ever—present for the library leadership, but you chose on the spur of the moment to take the time necessary to provide the guided tour with just the right amount of detail, while maintaining the appropriate amount of instruction. To you, my wife and I are in deep appreciation, particularly since we are new to Lexington. . Perhaps most important, your enthusiasm and commitment to both the University and the library was quite evident. Such eagerness is both rare and refreshing. Again, on behalf of both my wife and myself, a sincere thank you is extended. we look forward to trying out many of the new automated library services that are available."
