NYLA news from Michelle Young, ASLS President
We are doing a membership review and encouraging all academics and special libraries and their staffs to join. We are pushing hard to have a significant presence in NYLA.
Our academic summit (previously mentioned) was a success. It was last week. We have several notes and action items to work on - a report and potential white paper is in the works.
Conference planning is done and there are several great programs at the fall conference (in Saratoga Springs).
Please encourage anyone to reach out if they have questions.

I've attached a copy of the NYLA-ASLS President's report. - Wendy
Update: Here is the info about the white paper.
Summit participants will also work toward the development of a white paper commenting on the status of Academic, Research and Special Libraries in New York State. This report would provide a snapshot of the community based on collectively agreed upon benchmarks. The intent in creating this paper is to formally document the immense value of our strong and rich mix of academic, research and special libraries in New York State.
