- AN2 EDITOR ON HOLIDAY
-
- Though there was a long gap between the release of Vol. 4, no. 1
- and Vol. 4, no. 2, suggesting that the AN2 editor was on vacation, that
- was, regrettably, not the case. The vacation begins with the
- publication of this issue.
- Somewhat more regular publication of AN2 will begin again after
- September 21, 1992. Please continue to send material for those issues,
- however. All submissions will be held and prepared for inclusion as
- quickly as possible. (The editor is again going to IFLA, where she
- hopes there will not be any political activities as interesting as last
- year's coup!)
