Some more appointments to add to your MAGERT records -- Susan Tulia has volunteered to serve ss MAGERT's li~ison with GODORT. Bernardine Hoduski hSB been appointed by GODORT to work with us on the planned Co-sponsored "government ms:'!pingupdate" lit L.A. Arlyn She r-wccd has volunteered to serve as MAar-RT's liaison with RASD. Emily Matteucci is the cha a r- of the Exhibits Committee, I inadvertantly left her name orf an informfltion sheet I sent in to base line for the last issue. Apologies! Now -- we need liaiaons with PLA and ACRL-RBMS -- any volunteers? Liaisons are charged with keeping MAGERT's chair (at least) up to date on programs of interest originating in other ALA groups, and in related Map and Geography organizations. ncnna Koepp is liaison to and from HAML and Jeremiah Post is liaison to find from SLA G&M. A schedule for lUdwinter is to be found elsewhere in these pages (if I get it in, in time!). All MAGF:RT members are welcome to attend most meetings __ although topics will be planning, planning and more planning and organizing MAGERT operations. If you want to work, and only incidentally be entertained, have input on planning MAGERT'S future--eome on down to San Antonio in January. I hear the weather's fine! CO~fMITTEE CHAIRS PLEASE NOTE: ALA HQ sends out conference information and ca.leoda.(~to you for your information and input.
