latest issue of the OLA Quarterly is now available! This is the second
notice for those who haven't had time to look at this issue, and an effort to
get more readers for the authors who worked hard to share their experience and

"OLA Today: Oregon Librarians Respond to Changing Times," and the
Guest Editor is Lynne Stahl of Multnomah County Library. From Lynne's
introduction: "This issue’s contributors and topics span academic and
public institutions, rural and metropolitan libraries, political activism and
personal narrative, and programming as well as abstraction." As you all
know, it has been a year of changes and challenges. Seven Oregon librarians
have worked hard to make sense of it <span>all</span>
and processed their ideas to share with you. It is a remarkable issue, and we
hope you enjoy reading it.<span> </span></span></span></font></p><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
