SLA Headquarters is still having issues with the membership database and we apologize if we missed anyone.  We look forward to seeing you at one of our events!

Welcome New Members

Welcome to all our new and returning members!  By new, I'm referring to everyone who joined in the last six months.  In case you are wondering why the delay, SLA Headquarters has been working on a new membership database and in the meantime, we have lost our reporting functionality.  I now have a work-around.  The beauty of blogging is that if I discover the work around doesn't work, I can edit this post! 

Without further delay, a warm welcome to:

• Corrine Satterfield
• Marie Wilson, National University
• Sherry Hays, Amylin Pharmaceuticals
• Elizabeth Osborne, 10-K Wizard
• Heather Devereaux, Elsevier
• Kathi Meyer, Biogen Idec
• Patricia Maass
• Marianne Sterna
• Brandi Moreland
• Alicia Provenza, EOS International
• James Cohn

I look forward to seeing you at one of our meetings.

Article in Union-Tribune

I was interviewed recently by Beth Wood, a Union-Tribune researcher/reporter, for an article she was writing about searching for health information on the Internet.  Here's a link to the article, "A Site for Sore..." that was published in the Currents Health section on October 30: http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20071030/news_lz1c30webrx.html.

Chapter Member Kathy Cook Featured in CUBIC Newsletter!

Kathy Cook, SLA-SD member since 1985, is featured in the September issue of CUBIC Corporation's newsletter CUBIC CIRCUIT. 

Cook, who manages the CUBIC Corporation's Technical Library, reflects on changes in the business of information retrieval during her 22 years at CUBIC and how she strives to always be on the cutting edge of our profession.  The article also gives a great overview of the CUBIC library and it's resources and features testimonials from employee patrons who depend on Cook to complete vital projects.
