The head librarian at the University of Richmond (VA) is now also president-elect of the ALA. He received his education at Marquette University where he earned a master’s degree in English, then enrolled at the University of Wisconsin, where in 1975 he earned a master’s in library science. He has been a member of ALA since 1976.
Here’s the story. Congrats Jim and good luck on a challenging job.
just to clarify
Leslie Burger is still President, Lorienne Roy will be President starting next week… then this time next year Rettig is President.
(oddly enough I drew a blank on Burger’s name and when I googled ALA, president, the first name that came up was Gorman’s)
Re:just to clarify
thanks for that
