so much going on in SELA! In 2010, SELA will meet in Little Rock,
Arkansas, and I hope that you will be able to join us. It will be held at the
Peabody Hotel in Little Rock and will include great speakers, a chance to
network and a chance to visit such diverse sites as the Clinton Library and
Heifer International. The Mentoring Program up and running and SELA is always
looking for both mentors and mentees. The <i>Southeastern Librarian</i>, a
peer-reviewed journal, is a great place to get published. You can find out more
