How many of you can say you got your job through your connections in SLA?
Every library position I've had since graduation (except for my short stint in
Montana), I've gotten through networking within SLA.
Well, the News Division wants to help connect you with the right job. The
Employment Clearinghouse helps match employers with job seekers. There is of
course no charge for this service.
So far, all the jobs but two that I've heard of have been posted on the
Newslib listserv on the Internet. If you have an open position that you are
reluctant to advertise just yet, you can contact me and I'll fax you some
resumes to look at before you even post the job.
In the past, few members have made use of the Division's employment
service. Last year only three people sent in resumes. So far this year I've
got five. We would like to advertise the service beyond the division, so that
employers who are not currently Division members can avail themselves of the
talent in our group. But to do this, we need more resumes. So if you are less
than delighted with your present position and thinking of a change, send a
resume, along with a note indicating any requirements (geographical,
financial, etc.) you have.
To list a position, either post it on Newslib, e-mail it to me at
eeisnerix.netcom.com, or US Postal it to me at UMI Information Store, 500
Sansome, Suite 400, San Francisco CA 94111. Mail resumes to me at the same
address.
One more thing--when you fill a position that's been posted, or when you
find a job and want me to remove your resume from the file, please drop me a
note. I hope to be able to tally any success stories at the end of this
Division year!

Small libraries deal with ''not enough'' - not enough time, not enough
money, not enough help, not enough respect. Turn these negatives into
positives by organizing, prioritizing, using technology to advantage,
networking and marketing our services.
This is the theme of the Small Libraries Program which will be held on
Wednesday at 1 p.m. during the Montreal conference. Three speakers will focus
on the various issues and will include ideas from all of you. So even if you
can't make it to conference, you can be a part of the program by sharing your
experiences.
If you have practical ideas or projects that turn negatives into positives,
please contact Diane Sponsler at the Pantagraph library, 301 West Washington,
Bloomington, IL 61701 (phone 309-829-9411, fax 309-829-7000). We'd like to
hear from broadcast, magazine and newspaper librarians.

There has been little activity since the conference. We had not received
the check from SLA for our conference income by presstime. This check will
represent the income from the continuing education course registration fees,
minus the conference expenses that the Division incurred. However, due to the
diligence of the 1994 conference planners, the Division maintains a healthy
bank balance of $3,680, with all outstanding debts paid. In the Winter issue
of NLN, you'll see a full accounting from the conference.

REGIONAL NEWS
Reading Nicholson Baker's extraordinary 21-page paean to the card catalog
(''Discards'', The New Yorker, April 4, 1994), I wondered if he would have
felt differently if he had had to type catalog cards every day.
I suspect that he would have been even less enthusiastic if he had had to
process cards in the USA Today library before automation. We had to type the
cards and produce the sets on a bulky, balky IBM Memory Typewriter.
That became ancient history, however, when we inaugurated our own online
book and magazine catalog. It is accessible to anyone in USA Today or our
parent company, Gannett, in any city, via our online system.
All of our 5,000-plus book titles and our magazine collection are in the
catalog. Users can search by title, author, editor, publisher, call number,
subject heading, etc.
Barbara Ellenbogen, library director at USA Today, was the cataloging
librarian before I assumed those duties in early 1990. She says that the
genesis of the idea for the online catalog came in a discussion with former
library director Dorothy Bland. When Bland asked Ellenbogen whether she had a
wish list, she said that she would like an online catalog.
Ellenbogen had gotten the idea from the Domino's Pizza library, where she
had previously worked. They had an online catalog through a network using
DBase III Plus software. The franchisees around the country could dial in and
see what books were in the library.
When Ellenbogen saw the typewriter that USA Today was using, ''the machine
scared me. I thought it would chop off my hand. It just seemed very labor
intensive to me, that in the age of technology we were still having to process
cards that way.''
When Ellenbogen replaced Bland as library director, three cataloging
options were explored. They were to change the way cards were being generated,
use an outside online system or build our own system.
Deciding to build our own system, the first step was to begin using
MARCIVE. This freed me up from a lot of the manual labor needed to generate
cards. But Ellenbogen's ultimate goal was to make the catalog accessible to
the newsrooms through the existing database.
She asked Sam Wenck of Gannett Corporate Systems to work toward that goal.
He and his colleague, Ron Schutt, held several meetings with me and, later,
with Ellenbogen, to learn exactly how we cataloged books.
Wenck needed to know what our current procedures were, how information was
managed and tracked and the overall flow of information in the system. He and
Schutt also did a lot of external research, talking to MARCIVE, the Library of
Congress and OCLC, among others.
Ellenbogen and Wenck looked at other systems, but ultimately decided to put
the catalog on the existing database software, BASIS, which would provide the
search engine. It would also, then, make the catalog part of the menu users
see when they log into the system.
There were some limitations to using the exisiting system (number of
fields, indexed fields, simultaneous users, for example). This required some
programming to get the system up and running.
A prototype was developed with a few titles, to see how it worked and what
need debugging. Once a format was set, a temp was hired to type in the entries
form the actual books on the shelves, not the shelf list.
Wenck designed the system so that entries could be typed in with a minimum
of keystrokes, through the use of special codes and repeats for field
descriptions, and code numbers for subject headings. There are also secure
fields that only some of the library staff can see.
What advice do Ellenbogen and Wenck have for other news organizations
considering their own online catalog?
Ellenbogen says it depends on the systems support at the paper. A larger
paper will presumable have a larger systems staff that could custom tailor a
catalog. But now there is software on the market that a smaller library could
buy, such as Q&A database software, that could be used to build a simple
catalog for under $500.
Wenck says that a big concern is access. Make sure you can make it as
accessible as possible to as many people as possible. He also cautions that
this is a labor-intensive project. There is no automated way to get the
information into the system. ''Someone has to pull (a book) from the shelf and
manually start typing.''
From my perspective, cataloging isn't nearly the chore it once was. A book
can be processed in in far less time. I can also quickly track book orders and
sources. I know if a book is on standing order and if a book has been donated.
Weeding is a relatively simple process.
Nicholson Baker notwithstanding, I wouldn't even think about going back to
using a printed card catalog.

Supervisor, Computerized Research Services
NEW TECHNOLOGY
CD-ROM technology has developed rapidly over the past decade to become a
major component in the arsenal of information resources. At the ABC News
Research Center, we now have a CD-ROM Network reaching remote users as far
away as Washington, D.C., London and Los Angeles. IN this article, we'll try
to share our experience with other news organizations considering implementing
CD-ROM networks.
The ABC News Research Center has a total staff of fifteen, (ten
professional Information Specialists, five clerical assistants) and provides
research to six daily and weekly network news broadcasts, other ABC news
production and staff departments, selected CapCities/ABC departments, and ABC
News bureaus worldwide. Our resources include a broad range of source
materials which are used by both staff and users, including CD-ROM and
magnetic databases. Online services such as NEXIS, DIALOG, DATATIMES and about
twenty other database systems, are searched only by News Research Center staff
for users.
The main impetus for setting up a CD-ROM Network came from trying to
provide research to an increasing number of users without increasing staff.
Over the past five years, ABC News added three weekly magazine shows, and
several units producing news specials, videocassettes, and other products. All
researchers and production assistants at these units are required to do
research to develop stories for air. They depend upon the News Research Center
for obtaining whatever information they need. It is up to our staff to advise
the show researchers on which sources they should use on their own, and which
information must be retrieved for them.
Until late 1993 when our CD-ROM Network was launched, the News Research
Center subscribed to a host of CD-ROM databases which were running in stand-
alone mode (each database on a single PC.) These databases included the
following UMI products: General Periodicals Ondisc, Newspaper Abstracts, New
York Times, Washington Post, USA Today. Other databases running stand-alone
included Newsbank's Los Angeles Times, Books In Print, EBSCO Serials
Directory, Facts On File, Grolier Encyclopedia, Microsoft Bookshelf,
Selectphone, Phonedisc, American Business Information, and other directory and
full-text sources.
The experience we had training users to use CD-ROM databases as part of
their own information gathering was invaluable preparation for expanding to a
network of CD-ROM databases. Our experience with researcher's requests had
taught us that most often their initial research involved a broad-based
literature search in major newspapers and periodicals. This was precisely the
kind of search that researchers could learn to do themselves. Our staff
Information Specialists would provide more specialized information, more
current information, or precision searches --anything outside the scope of the
CD-ROM databases, or outside the range of capabilities of these databases (or
the end-users).
Users had responded very positively to searching for periodical and
newspaper articles on CD-ROM, and learned the techniques of basic searching
quickly. These sources became so popular that providing enough terminals for
multiple-user access in the News Research Center facility and providing remote
desktop access was our next challenge.
ABC News management was totally committed to centralizing online searching
(NEXIS, DIALOG, DATATIMES, etc.) in the News Research Center, and was
convinced that a CD-ROM network would enable our staff to successfully manage
increasing demands for research services. Thus, approval for capital
expenditures was obtained to purchase the necessary hardware and software.
The plan called for twenty-one CD-ROM drives, one CD server, one remote
access fileserver, CD-ROM networking software, database metering software, and
any ancillary equipment required. An expansion of the network to twenty-eight
CD-ROM drives, and to two remote access servers, was planned for the following
year, 1994.
Critical to launching this venture was teaming up with the IS (Information
Systems) Group at Cap Cities/ABC. Having their backing from the beginning was
essential, for we require ongoing technical support to keep this system
running. At the outset, therefore, we met with IS to explain our proposal, and
obtained agreement to hire outside consultants to set up the CD-ROM Network.
CD Consultants (Howard McQueen) were selected, and they cooperated fully
with IS, and vice-versa. Keeping the communication channels open between all
parties is critical to our operation.
Selecting the database sources to put on the network was our next
challenge. We decided to offer two or three years worth of several full-text
newspapers, and several standard reference sources, so that remote users would
be able to quickly obtain newspaper articles, and information they regularly
require, without having to visit or call News Research. We did not put UMI's
General Periodicals Ondisc on the network because this image database requires
its own CD-ROM networking software and a jukebox for the CD-ROM disks--all of
which is a major investment for large-volume article delivery, which is not a
high priority.
In the 1994 expansion, we added several newspapers, and a magazine
indexing/abstracting service with some full text. (See list below of database
sources)
Remote access is available to all ABC News show units, and usage is
substantial from every department, amounting to over 2000 searches per month.
The metering software, APPMETER, tells us how many users have accessed each
database. Also, the metering software monitors our license agreements for each
database, so we know if we must add more simultaneous users to the license for
each database.
We were concerned about the lack of currency on CD-ROM databases, and
whether or not users would call our staff for more current information.
Another concern has been the quality of searching, and the level of user
awareness of the correct sources to use. These issues have underscored the
importance of good, regular user training.
Immediately upon launching the CD-ROM Network, C.B. Hayden compiled a GUIDE
TO SEARCHING which contained descriptions of each database along with search
instructions, and these were given to researchers attending training sessions
held at the News Research Center. We continue to train new staff, and give
refresher courses regularly as well. We spend approximately four hours per
week giving formal training, and additional time is spent by our staff
Information Specialists giving ''on the spot'' guidance in searching. We are
satisfied that most users acquire at least adequate skills, with some
achieving ''power user'' status. A small minority remain very dependent upon
our staff for their information. We consider these results good enough to
support the continuing growth of the CD-ROM network.
If we had to cite the key benefit of the CD-ROM Network, it would be that
our users have become more knowledgeable and sophisticated information
gatherers and consumers. They are drawn to us more frequently, armed with more
specific and complex questions for our staff.
Finally, there are PR benefits to the CD-ROM Network. We are a ''presence''
in all ABC News offices. New departments from different areas of the company
are learning about this resource, and discovering who we are, and what our
services can do for them.
Our advice to those embarking on a CD-ROM Network project is learn all you
can about the technology. Think carefully about your users and your operation.
Plan your network with specific goals in mind. Cooperate with your IS
department. Hire consultants if you can. And plan to spend a lot of time on
user education.
In conclusion, we think that CD-ROM technology is one of the best ways to
enhance your information center's resources, and make your staff more visible
and effective.

SEYBOLD REPORT
Seybold, the publishing industry's newsletter and training leader, held its
annual conference in San Francisco September 13-16. Seybold, which was
recently purchased by Ziff Davis, has held conferences for the last 14 years
focussing on new challenges of the technological world of publishing. New
products are often unveiled at the conference and the industry's significant
players serve as panelists and course instructors.
The annual Seybold conference is about as cutting edge as the industry
gets. Presenters ponder how to resolve the challenges faced by today's
publishing industry while touting the promises of tomorrow's future
technologies.
This year's conference topics included the problems of bringing color and
video to desktop publishing, publishing on the Internet, CD-ROM publishing and
other new electronic media that are designed to change how information is
produced, distributed and stored.
Despite the impressive scope of the three-day conference, John Schull, of
Downtown Anywhere (an Internet publisher) may have best summed up where the
publishing industry is headed when he described the dual world of new media
development. He told the audience attending the session ''Publishing on the
Internet'', that publishing has become ambiguous in nature - some view
publishing as the activity of disseminating information while others view the
industry as the sale of information.
These contrasting views are two very different ''takes'' on the publishing
industry that cause difficulty in defining and attaining mutual goals, let
alone making money.
The newspaper industry seems to divide along these lines as well.
Publishers are on one side, seeking money-making opportunities to support a
dying industry. On the other side, (some) editors and news librarians are
trying to get information out to new audiences and to define an online
''community'' and ''content voice'', no matter the cost.
One conference day devoted a track to newspaper publishing. But the
presentation on ''Reinventing the Morgue'' (uggh!), that focused on photo
archives and the money-making possibilities was largely disappointing. The
general consensus about photo archives was that none of the products are where
anyone wants them to be.
Eric Meskaukas, Photo Director at The Daily News, cited a photo archive
wish list that would include a system with the ability to store, index and
retrieve all physical data. It would also store multiple data types, index PDF
files, store photos taken but not used, display page views, operate from one
terminal that is fast and easy to use and have both CD-ROM and online
capabilities. Until that product is developed, he contended, he'll rely on the
news library to copy pictures he might want and file them in a manilla folder
to pull when he might need them.
The lack of a presence by a news librarian on the panel resulted in only a
cursory discussion about the key issues of organization and access and a news
librarian's role in the whole archiving process.
Another newspaper presentation, ''The Transition to a Digital World,'' was
moderated by David Cole and previewed online newspapers including the
Washington Post Extra (due out in December), Access Atlanta, Merc Center and
Hotwired (Wired Magazine's Mosaic application on the New, due out later this
year). The online products are somewhat predictable and similar to one another
at this point, except for the Post's incorporation of photos and Hotwired's
use of videos.
Some of the most interesting comments about online papers were elicited
from the panel by Cole's questions. For example, online newspapers are labor
intensive but just how many people does it take to put one out? The Post has
eight to 10 employees, Merc Center has 16 (with three additions planned this
year), Hotwired has 22 and Access Atlanta leads the pack with 30 employees.
Another question focused on the projects' biggest challenges. Mark Potts,
from the Post, said that their biggest challenge was in making an online
product look as little like a newspaper as possible. Chris Jennewein, from
Merc Center, said it was remembering to invest in the process and not in
building an online product for only one platform. David Scott, from Access
Atlanta, said it was understanding the users and for what services they will
pay. He added that from an operation standpoint, the challenge was to get
people to learn proprietary software. Andy Anker, from Wired, thought that the
challenge was just getting a project going and anticipating the next step.
Other presentations, beyond the newspaper track, were broader and dealt
with the imperative need to replace the old paradigm (their word, not mine) of
publishing with a new one. What that new paradigm is is open to
interpretation. However, a few themes recurred: New media must have an
emphasis on interactivity and timeliness. The old ''push'' model of
information dissemination must change to a ''pull'' mode with possible market
segmentation of one individual, if appropriate. New media must be experiential
and query-based.
As far as publishing tools, new media techniques must be quick, relevant
and allow for readers to be put in charge. Michael Spindler, Apple's CEO, told
the group in a keynote speech that the industry must shift away from a heavy
emphasis on computer capabilities to one on communication. And formats must be
standardized yet flexible for future platforms.
New products that are currently being developed as automated editors for
HTML, which is the style code needed to put text into a Mosaic format for the
Internet, and as data converters (such as Adobe's new Acrobat 2.0, previewed
at the conference) allow for the merging of documents of all types and sources
into one readable file.
Overall, the general tone of the conference was that the publishing
industry is largely undaunted by the apparent problems that plague them,
turning instead to technology as the panacea. Notably absent from this
conference, however, was any discussion of the issues of copyright and
royalties, thievery in Internet commerce and possible privatization of the
Internet.

CONTINUING EDUCATION
RECAP ON THE 1994 NEWS DIVISION CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSE IN ATLANTA:
The 1994 CE course, ''The Electronic Landscape: New Products, Methods and
Responsibilities'' was a successful one for the News Division. We had a total
attendance of 95 people for the event and the revenue generated by the course
through registration fees was $14,305.00. Final figures on expenses for the
course had still not been tallied by SLA in time for this NLN deadline, but
included some equipment charges (greatly reduced thanks to the generosity and
support of the staff from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution), charges for the
luncheon and refreshment breaks, and air fare and hotel expenses incurred for
one speaker.
Watch for upcoming Treasurer's Reports from Lu-Ann Ferrar for final figures
on the Division's financial status.
I would like to thank again our speakers for their time and for sharing
knowledge in their particular areas of expertise: Roger Fidler, Knight-Ridder
Information Design Laboratory; Shari Steele, Electronic Frontier Foundation;
David Scott, Access Atlanta, Atlanta Journal-Constitution; Earl Casey, CNN;
and Kelly Frey, from the Copyright Clearance Center. Also my sincere thanks to
the members of the Education Committee for their assistance and support - Ron
Larson, Wisconsin State Journal; Marie McKenzie, McKenzie Information
Associates; Elizabeth Sullivan, NPR; Ron Wilson, Newsweek; and Sherry Adams,
Houston Chronicle.
NEW OPPORTUNITIES?
One of the things I would like to do as the News Division's financial
situation becomes more stable again is to find ways to direct at least some of
the income from annual CE courses back into other educational programs and
projects. This might include regional seminars and events like the Great Lakes
Regional Conference or some smaller event happening in your town.
For example, a news librarian might want to host a seminar or reception for
library school students to help to broaden their image of what a ''special
library'' is. This fund might help to defray the costs.
Or perhaps we could set aside a fund to be used for Division members to
attend the SLA Professional Development Course or Middle Management Institute
that they otherwise could not afford.
The Finance Committee of the Division has been asked to develop an
application form that members will be able to use in requesting financial
assistance from the Division for specific programs they would like to sponsor.
I hope that once this is in place we will see a flurry of activity which will
enhance the overall quality and quantity of educational opportunities
available to News Division members.
LOOKING AHEAD
News Division members have a busy year ahead with several opportunities
for professional development and networking.
Coming up at the Special Libraries Association Winter Education Conference
in Raleigh, NC, January 29-31, 1995, are a number of Continuing Education
courses sponsored by SLA headquarters. Course topics will include: Internet,
Managing Change, Copyright Law, CD-ROM and Networking.
In March, the News Division will be participating in the Great Lakes
Regional Conference, which will meet in Chicago, March 22-24, 1995. The
conference hotel will be the Chicago Marriott Downtown, with all meetings
currently scheduled to happen there. All-day CE courses will be offered on
Wednesday, March 22, with topics including: Internet, Imaging Databases, CD-
ROM Networking, Leadership Skills, Competitor Intelligence and Marketing
Library Services. The sessions on Thursday and Friday will include keynote
speakers each morning with general conference sessions also scheduled for each
day.
The Division is contributing a general session entitled ''News Library
Research: Resources and Choices for News Librarians on a Budget''. The session
will look at how to make the best choices we can in CD-ROM products, online
services, etc. when faced with budget constraints - how to get the most bang
for the buck.
Friday sessions will be followed by library tours in the downtown Chicago
area, which will be organized for conference attendees. A tour of the Chicago
Tribune Research Library may be included.
Other general topics to be addressed at the conference include: multi-media
libraries; the virtual library; copyright issues; supersearchers; working with
your corporate MIS department; consultants; downsizing; and library school
education.
Those of you who have time may wish to linger in the Windy City a few extra
days and then attend the IRE seminar scheduled for March 31-April 2.
Moving on to June 1995, the News Division will be in Montreal for the SLA
Annual Conference. The CE course that I am working on for the conference is
''Leaders in an Electronic Era: Information Specialists = Road Warriers?''
We will look at good what leadership is. Look for more details in the next
issue of NLN.

MERGING AT NPR
The librarians at National Public Radio (NPR) have for years been urging
upper management to merge the News and Tape Libraries. Finally NRP hired a
consultant (Guy St. Clair, former SLA President) who recommended merging the
staff and resources. After another year of negotiations the new structure has
emerged. Rob Robinson is Senior Librarian, Kee Malesky is head of the
Reference Collection and Elizabeth Sullivan is head of the Tape Collection.
The merger has permitted the NPR library to increase its hours, services and
entrepreneurial activities.
NEW JOBS
New York Newsday has hired Karen McGruder, formerly of the Conference
board, as a Librarian. Donna Mendell, an Assistant Librarian, was promoted to
Librarian.
The Tampa Tribune has hired two News Librarians - Gail Bray, formerly of
the Palm Beach Post, and Stephanie Williamson, a recent graduate of University
of South Florida's MLS program and a former assistant producer at several
Florida television stations.
Debbie Wolfe, St. Petersburg Times News Researcher, will be dedicated at
least halftime to training/instruction of the newsroom staff. Debbie will help
staff connect to relevant Internet sources and adapt to the ever-changing
electronic landscape.
...CHANGES IN LATITUDE
The Miami Herald has hired Michael Clark as News Researcher. Michael, a
former summer intern at the Herald, moved briefly to Idaho but decided that in
his own private Idaho experience, the rent was high and the job market
limited. So he moved back to Miami. The Herald hired him to fill the role of
news library research slot person.
Barbara Gellis Shapiro, formerly of AP in New York, is now working as the
Systems/Training Librarian for the Palm Beach Post. One of her primary roles
will be training the newsroom on Internet Access.
Carolyn Hardnett, former Director of Library Services at the Baltimore Sun,
and more recently Hardnett Enterprises and Emerge Magazine, will bring her
considerable talents and over 20 years of library experience to the St.
Petersburg Times. Carolyn will begin working at the Times as a News Researcher
this October...just in time for the great jacuzzi weather.

NOTES FROM THE CHAIR
O.K., I'm finally reading my mail.
Pounds of it from SLA headquarters, megabytes of it from e-mail. Not to
mention magazine subscriptions and newsletters.
So, here I sit - at home, on a rainy semi-tropical Sunday (two days past
deadline.) I finally got caught-up on my e-mail yesterday at the office (3
hours worth!), and have put finishing touches on a couple of major research
projects. The Palm Beach Post library is still short one staff position and we
are deeply into vacation time. Sound familiar? Trying to stay on top of the
information revolution is exhilarating, but a little bit like trying to tame a
hurricane. Here goes:
FROM SLA HEADQUARTERS:
The cover photo of the new SLA board of directors in the
July/August 1994 issue of SpeciaList proves that SLA Director, Richard Gieger
is heads above the other board members! No offense Donna, he's just taller!
News Division membership has increased 7.81% during the last quarter. 1st
quarter membership was 732, 2nd quarter increased to 794. We can now tell
prospective members that we have a membership of about 800!
AND NOW, FROM THE NEWS DIVISION (E-MAIL AND OTHER.....)
Several of our Committees have been hard at work. Most of them have reports
published in this version of NLN. I would like to give special kudos to Jim
Hunter, John Janssen, Julie Kirsh and Kathy Foley of the Automation/Technology
Committee for continuing to attempt to tame the hairy beast of Keywords for
Digital Photo Archives.
Much is happening to develop standards for electronic transmission of news.
This includes still and motion images, international text, archived data and
text retrieval. It is critical that the News Division play a role in these
developing standards. If you have an interest in this area, please contact me
or any of the Tech Committee members ASAP, things are changing fast!
Special recognition also goes to Mona Hatfield for attempting to get
feedback for a new and improved News Division membership brochure. The
Publication Committee is also thinking about what it might take to create a
multi-media membership presentation. Sounds like fun.
The Elections Committee has selected a nominating board. Expect a phone
call. Elections are coming soon!
The PR Committee has finished designing letterhead, and will be continuing
to badger all of us for submissions to our Clearinghouse.
Ginny Everett is working hard to make sure that internet addresses will be
included in our next membership directory expect a letter from Ginny soon!
Elyse Eisner has been doing an excellent job with the Employment
Clearinghouse. Be sure to list your openings and resumes with her. It helps us
all.
Lu-Ann Farrar continues to birddog the treasury. Things are looking
brighter. Many thanks to those of you have offered advice and expertise in
this area. The entire division is greatful.
A major tip of the hat to M.J. Crowley for her involvement in the 6th
annual NPPA Electronic PhotoJournalism Workshop.
(editor's note: M.J. and others who attended will share their experiences in
the Winter issue of NLN).
Charlie Campo has been working to pull together what looks like an
excellent conference program for Montreal. Please give Charlie a call if you
are willing to volunteer with any of the scheduled programs. Working together
is what makes our annual conference programs so good. It should be a great
conference and the exchange rate is in our favor!
The planning for the Montreal Awards Banquet is underway. Donna Scheeder
has selected a wonderful venue.
These are just a few of the things going on within the News Division so far
this year. As you can tell, we've been busy. A special thanks to all of you
have contributed. Please keep me posted on your interests and concerns.
Now for my e-mail: The last time that I requested deadline column help from
the members of the NEWSLIB listserv. I got several suggestions. They include:
1) Publish examples of our expertise at networking. How about a Networking
column for NLN? It sounds like a good idea to me. If you'd like to volunteer,
please contact Linda Henderson our fearless NLN editor. Excerpts from this
column could be used in our membership materials.....
2) I believe that we should begin communicating our expertise as an
organization to station managers, managing editors, publishers, producers,
etc. If you have ideas or suggestions, please feel free to give me a call.
3) Budget preperation. UGH! Yes, sometimes we need to be reminded that we
could use some refresher (or introductory) instruction on the budget process.
Would anyone be willing to write an article for NLN on Successful Budgeting?
I'm sure it would be well read.
4) How about more discussion of librarians as editorial team members? I
know that many of our members are working as integral parts of the news
gathering process. How are you doing this? What are the secrets (and possible
pitfalls) of this relationship? Please take a few moments and share your
expertise with our membership through NLN.
5) How about selling digital photos? Anyone doing this? How is it going?
Making any money? Please let us know.
6) Training, training, training. I'm seeing a new use for my past teaching
experience! We would all welcome insight and guidence from those of you who
are already playing an active roll in the continueing education of your
newsrooms.
7) Geographic Information Systems (GIS) - Government has been using these
systems for some time. Media organizations are beginning to buy into these
systems for Marketing, Circulation, etc. How valuable are they for us? If
you're using GIS as a part of news research, please share your experiences.
O.K. so what we are really requesting is MORE NETWORKING!
Most of these suggestions have come to me by way of our NewsLib listserv.
As all of you who subscribe know, this is a valuable place to exchange
information, insight, and humor. But I am suprised and distressed by the
number of our members who still do not have internet access. This is why we
still need News Library News, a membership directory, and Information and
Employment Clearinghouses. Until we are able to get all of our members on
''the net,'' we must be diligent about providing our experience and
expertise to these non-net resources.
How can we as a division address universal internet access for our members?
Is there a vendor willing to offer free access to a commercial internet
provider? Are there internet-savvy members who could as consultants to those
are struggling to get connected?
Let's find a solution to getting internet access for EVERY member of our
division. Newslib listowner Barbara Semonche has graciously agreed to field
all calls, fax requests, smoke signals, and/or telepathic images towards
making this a reality. Please give her a call if you are willing to help.
Remember that Information is power - please share.

Welcome to my inaugural issue as managing editor of News Library News.
Those of you who warned me that putting one of these guys together was hard
work were right. But those who said that it could be fun and a great way to
meet others in the Division were also right.
Mona, of course, took the latter tack when she asked me to take over this
job. She also promised that she'd be there to help me through any rough spots
and to answer any questions. She is as good as her word. Thanks, Mona.
I'd also like to thank all of you who have offered to contribute articles,
who have given me ideas or who have just been on the other end of the phone
when I needed to whine about missed deadlines and prepublication nerves.
Now I need more help. Are there big topics in our profession that you would
like us to address - either in an entire issue or with one good article? Are
there regular features that you would like to see? This is your newsletter,
help me to make it as useful to you as possible.
I am looking forward to hearing from all of you.

AUTOMATION / TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE
The Automation and Technology Committee is about to spawn itself into a
number of standing subgroups. Technology is so ubiquitous in our profession,
it is unrealistic for one committee to stay on top of every new development.
Some automation related problems really require long term study and
commitment.
Included in this issue of NLN is a short survey from the Automation and
Technology Committee requesting guidance from you as to where we should be
placing our efforts. This group collects data, deals with vendors, produces
publications and presents programs at conference each year.
Please take a few minutes to complete and return the survey. Your voice in
this matters very much since technology affects us all large and small
libraries alike. - Jim Hunter
The Automation & Technology Committee has been asked to contribute to the
IPTC standard in field 25:2, or the keyword field you see on the AP Picture
Desk. If we do this and do it well there will be further opportunities for the
News Division to shape other fields and effect how news and images are stored
and transmitted. If we fail to contribute now, we may not get another
opportunity and may not like what someone else develops for us.
There are additional complications in the works. The AP Picture Desk is
changing very quickly. AP is ready to beta test its new 486 based client
server. This means first of all that the proprietary Leaf stations are now
obsolete and the Picture Desk will run on ethernet. You also won't need those
$6,000 Leaf cards for each MAC.
In the near future the AP GraphicsNet will disappear. Graphics will be
transmitted directly to the Picture Desk. AP is looking at transmitting
stories the same way, which means that they need standards, fields, and
keywords to perform information management on what they call ''news event
packages''.
In other types of libraries, digital image handling, classification and
retrieval have become significant issues. For exampne, art & architecture
libraries are well along in developing standards and classification schemes.
News librarians need to join in these efforts to set standards, develop
common storage and retrieval mechanisms, and promote high speed image
searching across what may be a virtual library.
WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE HERE?
The Automation & Technology needs your help, input and advice. We really
need News Librarians to join us in a very long term commitment.
We need to expand the basic keyword list that we created and make it useful
not only to news libraries, but to commercial photo houses, vendors and other
institutions, as well. We need to think about coding this list numerically,
translating the list into other languages, and synonym construction.
We also need to determine whether or not this list can function in SGML
(Standard Generalized Markup Language), which some people think is part of
our future. We need to work with the NAA/IPTC committee to foster these
classification standards, work within their plans and obtain from this body,
additional fields for use in the architecture of our archives.
Given the fact that soon - within three years - hundreds of newspapers will
be archiving thousands of images each day, newspapers collectively will
represent the largest image archive in the world. And AP will be small
potatoes.
Doesn't it make sense to speak the same language?
