I love summer and am always sad to see it go but the fall is an exciting time as well. This fall will be even more exciting than usual, as it features the 2010 OLAC Biennial Conference. The average high temperature of host city, Macon, Georgia, in October is a pleasant 77 degrees, perfect for traveling and sight-seeing. For more information, please see Julie Huskey's 2010 OLAC Biennial Conference Preview on page 32.

This issue of the Newsletter has the standard features you love, and also a few twists. OCLC's Tip of the Month appears for the second time.  Its last installment was well received, so we've decided to make it a permanent feature. Additionally, the Book Reviews section will be transitioning to a Reviews section, where different types of cataloging resources will be reviewed. Starting this off is Phillip Suda of the Saint Louis County Library, who wrote reviews of three cataloging blogs: Cataloging Futures, Catalogablog, and The Cataloguing Librarian. Hopefully these reviews will help you discover additional resources to assist in your cataloging.

On a personal note, I would like to encourage everyone to read the text found on the Nancy B. Olson Award Plaque that was given to Julie Moore on June 27, 2010.   Its inscription can be found on page 26, in the OLAC Membership Meeting minutes taken at ALA Annual 2010. Julie has made significant contributions to the audiovisual cataloging community, and it gave me great pleasure to see her receive this well deserved award. Congratulations, Julie!

Enjoy the fall, everyone.
