To this end, I would suggest including Susan Oberlander, State Librarian. She has been supportive of some of our projects in the past and would, I'm sure, be glad to participate. For those of you who have not taken advantage of the NM State Library, I highly recommend the collection, the building and most of all those who work there. First-rate in all regards.
And for those who want a bit of brush-up on you online literature search skills, see: http://tiny.cc/6EE7m Magazines Online Webinar [image: Print]<javascript:void%20window.open('http://www.nmstatelibrary.org/index2.php?option=com_events&task=view_detail&agid=52&year=&month=&day=&Itemid=134&pop=1',%20'win2',%20'status=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,titlebar=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes,width=600,height=400,directories=no,location=no');> Tuesday, January 06 2009, 10:00am - 11:00am The State Library is pleased to offer follow-up training on *Magazines Online *-- the premiere database resource provided to all libraries in New Mexico.
