THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

One of the important tasks performed by 1 i brar­ians and information scientists is to make informa­tion accessible to all users of different cultural backgrounds. The information shall not be 1 imited to serving one particular cultural group. In this light, the Chinese-American Librarians Association chose "Information Access Commitments: A Multi­cultural Perspective" as the theme of its 1989 prograll'. Distinguished speakers are being invited to make presentations at our Dallas Annual Confer­ence on Tuesday, June 27, 1989.

For the first time, CALA selected librarians to present papers at the Seminar on Library Automation sponsored by the Library Association of China, Re­public of China, in August 1988, and at the Library Association of Central Government Units and Scien­tific Research Networks in the People's Republic of China in October-November 1988. Such endeavors in international cooperation will be further explored in the future. Irene Yeh, Susana Liu and Daphne Hsueh represented CALA to these two countries; their spending of time and money in this international cultural exchange is worthy of our commendation and respect.

International cooperation in our profession is also served through a book exchange program, with which CALA has been involved for years. Last year, the Books to China Committee sent out a total of 14 boxes of books to the Beijing Normal University and 17 boxes to Chinghua University in Beijing.

Dr. Nelson Chou is the new editor of the Jour­nal of Library and Information Science and succeeds Margaret Fung, who resigned from the post last Au­gust after a ten-year tenure. Under the leadership of Dr. Fung, Tze-Chung Li and John Yung-hsiang Lai, the Journal has been circulated internationally and indexed. Their contribution to this professional journal deserves our high praise and recognition.

CALA has been in existence for 17 years. The documents and records of the Association are piling up continuously. We are now searching for a 1 ibr­ary willing to store our archival materials.

Winter 1989

CALA's role in promoting library services to the Chinese community was brought up in a discus­sion during the second Board meeting on January 7th. This topic could be considered as a theme for a future CALA program.

As an affiliate of the American Library Associa­tion, CALA fully subscribes to the principle of intellectual freedom and is thus strongly opposed to any form of censorship. CALA particularly con-

demns the Monterey Park Public Library for its decision to eliminate non-English books from ·its

collections and supports the Friends of the Library of Monterey Park and People for the American Way in their suit against the City of Monterey Park and its Council.

Chiou-sen Chen, CALA's Northeast Chapter Presi­dent and a Member of the Board, is also to be com­mended for her $200 donation to fund a scholarship. She recently pub 1 i shed a book entitled How to use Academic Libraries in the United States.

As one of the minority professional groups, CALA has been gaining acceptance by the ALA Headquarters and its divisions. Presidents of minority librarian organizations were invited to attend the Minority Member Affirmative Action Focus Group Meeting in Chicago on November 18th. CALA was also invited to send an interviewer and an interviewee to partici ­pate in the ALA Oral Hi story Project undertaken by the Committee on the Status of Women in Librarian­ship. The LAMA Membership Co~ittee sponsored a forum on "increasing ethnic diversity" on January

lOth and invited CALA to send a representative to participate in its program.

The Membership Committe plans to assign states not currently associ a ted with any chapter's region-al coverage (such as Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, Florida) to nearby chapters. The next directory

will list members' special interests or areas of specialization.

If you have not yet renewed your nembership, please do so now. CALA needs your support!

The Tianjin area library association wishes to establish a sister relationship with the California Chapter. The matter is being considered by the Chapter.

In order to increase its visibility, CALA needs to recommend and endorse candidates to the ALA Council. The Council is the governing body of ALA and delegates to the Association's divisions author­

ity to plan and carry out programs and activities in accord with pol icy established by the Council.

This year, the Board has endorsed the candidacy of CALA Vice-President/President-Elect Peter R. Young and urges ALA personal members to support hiw in the upcoming Spring 1989 election.

The Selection Committee asked Daphne Hsueh, Susana liu and Irene Yeh to participate in semi-

nars in both mainland China and Taiwan. The trips turned out to be rewarding but exhausting, desirable but expensive. Although CALA may not be able to se­lect speakers every year, it should continue to plan such activities. Through CALA, ALA is establishing contacts with librarians on the mainland. Plenty of lead time is an important factor. Organizers in both countries were fully prepared, but in general the audience on the mainland was more receptive to talks of a general nature, while librarians from Taiwan wanted more in-depth presentations. Irene Yeh was encouraged to prepare a paper on her expe­rience and to share it with the ALA International Relations Round Table.

Linda Tse was appointed chair of the task force to investigate available resources and serv­ices in order to create a database on services to Chinese-Americans.

The Publications Committee will consider the establishment of fees for newsletter advertisements.

CALA went on record to condemn the elimination of all non-English books at the Monterey Park Public Library and charged Carl Chan to investigate the possibility of drafting a resolution to that effect.

If funding and a vacant position are avai 1 ab 1 e, successful participants wi 11 be con­sidered for noncompetitive placement in a permanent position at grade GS-9. The position offers noncom­petitive promotion potential to GS-12. Require­ments: U.S. citizenship, enrollment in a 1 ibrary degree program at an accredited school; strong writing skills are essential and general knowledge of U.S. Government processes is desirable. For further information, contact Bessie Alkisswani at (202) 707-8803.
