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!)
