The bad news : Sandy Calemme has resigned as President-Elect/Program Chair of Godort of Michigan as of December 16, 1995, due to her relocation to Orlando, Florida. The good news : there is a chance she may return since she has applied for a year's leave of absence from the University of Detroit-Mercy. At any rate, we wish her good luck in finding another job and hope she enjoys the Orlando area.

Sue Davidsen (davidsen@umich.edu), Operations Manager, MLink, and recent Godort of Michigan Thurston Award winner, reports that general information and a searchable archive of Michlib-L is now available via the Michigan Electronic Library.
