interesting reading

[Benjamin Rifkin]

Dear SEELANGers:

I recommend to all, but especially to those working in North America, to
read Pat Chaput's essay, "Everyman's Role in Minding the Store," in the
latest ADFL Bulletin (29, 2 [/Winter '98]), a response to an essay in a
previous issue by Dorothy James entitled "Bypassing the Traditional
Leadership:  Who's Minding the Store?"  Pat's essay gives readers some ideas
of important ideas to consider in building programs and departments before
they come under scrutiny for reduction or elimination.

With best regards,

Ben Rifkin
