e-Books Selected for the Vermont Online Library
UPDATED 3/16
On Friday, March 18, Gale will be activating VOL access to the updated VOL e-book collection.
At that time the upgrades to new editions and the new titles that Martha Reid announced in the message below will be available.
For a time, access to the older editions/titles will continue to be available and we will be in contact with you before those older e-books are removed.
Looking For Retirees
The VLA Awards committee is looking for names of librarians who have retired or who are planning to retire this year so we can honor them at the annual conference in May. The criteria are:
- Must be a member of VLA
- Must have worked in Vermont libraries for 10 years or more
- Must be retiring, not just switching jobs.
If you know anyone who fits these criteria, please send me their name and their library affiliation. Thanks so much for your help!
