Race for ALA Presidency Begins

Gorman is well known to those in the library community for his lecturing at library conferences and for his books on librarianship, including Our Enduring Values (ALA Editions, 2000), which won the 2001 Highsmith Award.

However, many media specialists are rooting for Stripling, who has more than 20 years experience in public schools, most recently as the director of instructional services for the Fayetteville (AR) public schools. She says her primary goal as president will be to encourage all librarians to impart technology and Web-based literacy skills.
