By now we've all settled in to the academic year, so it's time to focus on the work of the ALL-SIS. I see this as a year of forward movement. Here's a teaser to whet your appetites for the year to come:

• The ALL-SIS web site will become a more vital, integral part of the SIS;
• Liaisons to other SISs will help consolidate the work of all academic law librarians;
• Alternative education formats will complement annual meeting programs;
• Librarians and publishers will work together to resolve issues.

These are just a few of the many projects the ALL-SIS will be tackling this year. We have many committees working on many issues, but we can always use more help. Let me know if you would like to be an active participant of your SIS.

I'll be sending e-mail updates as the year progresses. And I hope you'll e-mail me (mslyhoff@law.upenn.edu) your ideas and comments.
