"The only place you find success before work is in the dictionary." --- May V. Smith
Stanley Davis supported this quotation when he spoke to the attendees of the SLA Annual Conference in Indianapolis last June. He indicated that as librarians we have an edge in this new information age, but there is always another group waiting in the wings to be the information professionals from whom our constituencies (including business people, educators, and those practicing life long learning) seek help. We as information professionals must work hard to showcase our skills and our ability to educate, guide and fill the information needs of our customers.
Another perspective on this topic is provided by management guru, Peter Drucker. In Forbes ASAP of August 24, 1998, he writes that information technology has caused top management to ask: "What information concepts do we need for our tasks?" Data for data's sake no longer works. More technology, more speed, are no longer the answer (if they ever were). What's needed is a redefinition of information. Who better to tackle this challenge than information professionals? So far MIS and IT folks have not grasped this need, but they're catching on fast.
The Arizona Chapter of SLA, your chapter, is trying to bring you programs and events to help keep you abreast of changes happening in our profession, and to help you hone your skills. We also want you to have fun doing it! The Executive Board and several officers got together on September 22 and November 10 in Casa Grande to develop a substantive strategic plan for our chapter. One of the programs planned around the topic of knowledge management took place the evening of November 18 in Tucson and was well attended. As you'll see from the minutes of the second strategic planning meeting (in this issue), we have other programs in the works that we hope to bring to fruition: A patent and trademark workshop, a workshop on competitive analysis, and an exciting speaker/party for International Special Librarians Day in April, 1999.
I'd like you all to reflect for a moment on your vision of a successful chapter. What should we be planning that we have overlooked? Are there events, speakers, workshops, that you believe would enhance yourperformance or fill an education gap in your own career?
Past Strategic Planning Chair, Ann Eagan, and current chair, Chris Vathis Howell, are putting together the final strategic plan in time for its unveiling at the December business meeting (planned for December 17, 1998). Please send in your ideas for programs/events by the first week of December if you would like to have them discussed at the meeting.
One of our major goals is to increase recruitment for the chapter. If you know of any potential members (colleagues, customers, students) who could provide energy to, and be energized by, membership in the Special Libraries Association, bring them to the meetings. Our chapter is made up of talented information professionals whose intelligence and dedication to the field enable us to work through potential problems and present perspectives we otherwise would not know about or understand. We learn from each other!
Stay tuned for more information about the next business meeting and enjoy the holidays.
The Hyatt Regency in downtown Phoenix was the site of the October 19 Digital Licensing Seminar organized by Copyrightlaws.com, which is not just a subscription website, but a company which organizes seminars on many topics relating to copyright principles and issues. The 3-hour seminar was presented by Lesley Ellen Harris, a copyright and New Media lawyer and consultant who has worked with copyright issues since 1984, and is well-acquainted with recent and proposed changes in the laws. Ms. Harris edits the Copyright and New Media Law Newsletter for Librarians and Information Specialists, and wrote Digital Property, Currency of the 21st Century (0-07-552846-0).
About a dozen attendees, including your Bulletin editor who attended on a Press invitation, garnered useful information to carry back to our businesses and libraries, and had plenty of time to ask questions in a wide range of areas. Ms. Harris recommends that we negotiate the best deal with our vendors, and not just accept the fine print sealed beneath the shrink-wrap. Some "rights" terms we learned to watch for were "assigned" and "licensed"; "exclusive" and "non-exclusive"; and "legal,"and "moral." We learned that it wouldn't hurt to put a copyright notice near computers, just like we put the notice by the photocopier. Regarding linking from our website to others, we probably don't need to ask permission to link, as long as we aren't reproducing anything from the original page....but there may be other issues involved, like receiving notification from the site if their address changes, that would encourage us to let the source know that we have linked. If we're digitizing photos or written material to put on our websites, we need to make sure that it's in the public domain, or that we have confirmed written permission to use it. We should put a copyright notice on our pages, even though it's not required by law to protect our rights, and if we really want people to take advantage of what we're doing, we can add a notice to the effect that the material is free for the taking. We were also given some pointers on copyright law as it applies to distance education, videotaping, and library usage.
A hefty handout included not only copies of the overheads from the presentation, but a checklist for planning our digital licensing agreements, sample boilerplate for agreements, several articles, reference lists, and websites to check for current information.

Present job: Technical Research Analyst, Global Information Center (GIC), Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector, Mesa, AZ (since 6/95). Sharing a Dilbertesque cubicle, amid the R&D engineers and scientists with whom I work, helping to develop world-class semiconductor embedded systems technologies.
Places of residence: Wisconsin, Maryland, Illinois, New Mexico, Ecuador, Wyoming, Colorado, California, Texas, Arizona. (A goal is to keep this list from expanding.)
Education: BA (Latin American Studies), U of New Mexico; MLS, U of Arizona; M. Public Administration, New Mexico State U.
First professional job: Reference Librarian, New Mexico State University (a temporary 1-year stint which lasted 6 1/2 years until I joined the world of special libraries).
Number of corporate downsizings I've survived: 6 in the petroleum industry, including the at-that-time-largest-ever corporate merger of Gulf and Chevron; 1 at Motorola (so far).
Fun job responsibilities: working on a team with techies to customize the Verity software for our in-house INSPEC database, responding to all the feedback sent to our GIC Intranet Web site, experiencing the "aha!" of engineers who realize the difference a special librarian can make in their jobs and decisions.
Memorable things I've done in professional associations: starting the NM Library Association Library Instruction Round Table with a grant from ALA, helping with local arrangements for the 1988 SLA Annual Conference in Denver (the tornado the last day was not part of the plan), editing the SLA Petroleum and Energy Resources Division Bulletin.
How I escaped the oil patch and got back to the Southwest: My husband very courageously left Chevron, spent two hard years retraining from geophysics to medical physics, then convinced Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale to hire him.
The SLA Membership Directory gave me the networking contacts to get where I am today.
Sending E-mail ------ Tips
Be aware of and avoid Flaming - angry E-mail messages. Make sure your message won't be misinterpreted. Be careful when using sarcasm and humor. Without face to face communication your joke may be viewed as criticism. Use "smileys" (emoticons) to impart additional meaning :-) Don't Be a Novelist – Consider the length of your message; many people will not read an E-mail message that is too long. Consider if E-mail is the appropriate way to communicate longer messages.
Is it appropriate for your company's or institution's all staff list? Relevant to all staff members?
For example, at the University of Arizona library, ALLSTAFF messages require 30 minutes of "library time." When a message is sent to ALLSTAFF, it goes to about 180 people and if each person takes 10 seconds to read the message, it has used about 30 minutes (collectively) of time. Don't overuse or "cry wolf." People who often send irrelevant messages run the risk of having all of their messages ignored.
Security and Privacy of E-mail
Realize that E-mail messages may be lost, mis-sent or unintentionally distributed on a discussion list. Your company or institution may permit the inspection, monitoring, or disclosure of E-mail in certain circumstances. Or as Oliver North found out, don't put anything in E-mail that you don't want to see on the cover of the New York Times. Or, as Bill Gates is discovering, don't put anything in E-mail that you don't want used against you in court!
Recommendation:
Use "FYI" (for your information) in the Subject line of messages that everyone may not be interested in. This will help people decide whether or not they want to read the message.
Replying to a Discussion List Did you really want to reply to everyone on the list? Does everyone need to see your reply, or are only certain individuals affected?
Timely Replying and Forwarding or Quoting Out of Context
Reply to E-mail messages in a timely manner. If you use E-mail, use it often enough that others can depend on your reply. (Would you not return phone messages for several days?) Think twice before forwarding a message that is sent only to you or forwarding parts of a message out of context.
Make Your Message as Clear as Possible
Use "smileys" (also called emoticons) to enhance meaning. State what you mean clearly and carefully. E-mail messages can easily be misinterpreted without facial expressions and body language that enhance meaning in face to face conversations. The use of all capital letters is commonly understood to mean THAT YOU ARE SHOUTING BECAUSE YOU ARE ANGRY.

... If you have moved or changed jobs recently, the easiest wayto make sure we don't lose track of you is to let SLA National Headquarters know first. Send a message with your updated information to Sherry@sla.org. Sherry will update all mailing lists and pass the information along to the Arizona Chapter.
The Special Libraries Association Arizona Chapter Tucson networking activities have been very successful this year. Kicking off the year with delicious Chinese food at Old Peking, our networking meeting at the end of August noted both the beginning of a new academic year and the new slate of SLA Arizona Chapter officers for 1998/99. Around 20 members attended, joined by students enrolled in the School of Information Resources and Library Science (SIRLS).
Our next networking event was held in October. We successfully experimented with an after-work event to attract outlying members. Attendees, including representation from SIRLS, enjoyed this evening event.
In the new calendar year, we plan a lunch networking event Friday, January 15 at Gentle Ben's in the University area.Other Spring, 1999, ideas include another evening/late afternoon gathering. One exciting possibility is an event that may include a tour of the special library at the United Nations Center in Tucson, as a tie-in with SLA's celebration of International Special Librarianship Day on April 15.

December SLA Business Meeting will be held December 17 at the Desert Botanical Garden, 1201 North Galvin Parkway, in Phoenix. Please mention at Admissions that you're there for the Special Libraries Association meeting. The time will be announced on the listserv, or check with Ann Manning Fiegen President - Elect / Program Chair - Ann Fiegen Secretary - Louis C. Howley Treasurer - Polin P.

Guidelines regarding qualifications, amounts and recipients for these stipends are being developed and will be finalized by the first of 1999. The Washington D.C. Chapter of SLA has agreed to serve as the lead on this project and has been working with headquarter's staff in the development of recommended guidelines. To date the following has been determined: The Washington D.C. Chapter has developed criteria for determining who would be eligible to receive the stipends. An application with the criteria is being created and will be available in the near future on the Chapter's web site as well as on SLA's web site and the soon to be revealed www. slaglobal2000 web site. The Washington DC Chapter strongly encourages other chapters to become active in raising money either to sponsor a librarian from a developing country themselves, or to contribute money to the sponsorship of a librarian. country themselves, or to contribute money to the sponsorship of a librarian. They have an Outreach Subcommittee headed by the DC/SLA President, Daille Pettit (dpettit@ahma.com), which will work with interested Chapters that want to participate in raising money or contributing money from their treasuries. The Chapter is working with headquarter's staff in developing a marketing plan to ensure that special librarians around the globe are aware of the conference and the availability of the stipends. Current plans are to work with co-sponsoring organizations, SOROS, USIA, Freedom Forum, and IREX, to name a few, to get this information out. A minimum amount for a stipend should be determined very soon. We have been waiting to see how many funds will be raised through sponsorships. Obviously, the more money we raise, the lower the costs of the registration will be. And, we are trying to get an average cost of airfares, though this is difficult considering we are talking about worldwide travel though this is difficult considering we are talking about worldwide travel costs. The Washington D.C. Chapter has agreed to serve as a collection agent for funds raised by other SLA units and to serve as the selection committee for awarding the stipends from the applications. All applications will be forwarded to the SLA Headquarters. These will then be forwarded to the selection committee to review and determine which candidates are selected. The Washington D.C. Chapter has agreed that any unit sponsoring a stipend will have the opportunity to have an individual serve on the selection committee with participating units able to select recipients on a first come basis. As each of these areas become finalized, we will be advising all units. Questions, comments and suggestions regarding stipends should be forward to Fred Casey, at 202-234-4700, ext. 613, or fred@sla.org, or to his attention at Special Libraries Association, 1700 18th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20008-2514., USA. --- Ann Abate, SLA Chapter Cabinet Chair. Minutes From September 22 Meeting From Louis Howley A.) The next meeting will be November 10 from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Casa Grande Public Library. B.) AR's (assigned responsibilities): 1. Jenny Mueller-Alexander and Chris Vathis Howell will contact Lisa Bradley about beefing up sponsorships, and new ways to encourage their participation. 2. Laura will look into costs to bring in Susan Ardis for a patents workshop. 3. Chris Vathis Howell and Ann Eagan will be in touch to finalize a draft for the strategic plan. 4. A follow-up to the board will be made regarding Dianne Bean's request to reduce the number of paper issues of the newsletter to 4. She proposes this to save money and labor, and to complement the presence of the newsletter on the web. The decision will be finalized by Nov. 10 (date of final strategic planning meeting), if not before. 5. Jenny Mueller-Alexander will mention the need to augment motivational efforts for students to Membership Chair, Gordon Dutrisac. Chris Vathis Howell will look into possibilities of Intel tour. 6. Carla Smith will look into Iron Horse as another possible sponsor, and will mention it to Lisa Bradley (Polin has original contact information). C.) Minutes, Strategic Planning Meeting , September 22, 1998, Casa Grande Public Library Members attending: Laura Bender, Ann Fiegen, Chris Vathis Howell, Louis Howley, Polin Lei, Jenny Mueller-Alexander, Jack Mount, Carla Smith. Chris Vathis Howell laid down ground rules for the discussion. The agenda was approved. There was much discussion about the proposed Mission and Vision statements. The mission statement was revised as follows: "To advance the competencies of SLA members through networking and professional development for the benefit of information consumers in "To advance the competencies of SLA members through networking and professional development for the benefit of information consumers in Arizona business, government, education, professions and society, as well as to assist in shaping the education and development of futureinformation professionals in the state." The vision statement was left more or less intact, with only the end phrase "in the state of Arizona" removed. The vision statement now reads: "The Arizona Chapter of the Special Libraries Association will be the leading organization in the state for the advancement and provision of professional information management, a catalyst in the development ofknowledge-based economy, and a strategic partner in the information-based society." The budget was reviewed. Our chapter is not bringing in as much revenue as it is spending. Bulletin advertising must be reinvigorated. Should the Bulletin become completely electronic to save money? It was decided that not everyone has electronic access, so a print version is still desirable. The idea of offering two for one advertising (print and electronic) was raised. Chris agreed to work with Lisa Bradley on contacting potential advertisers. Vendors who could be contacted include the sponsors of the anniversary dinner. In-state companies such as Bookman's could be solicited. How much is each individual member willing to pay--how much can be charged before attendance will decline at a particular program? Brainstorming ensued about possible program ideas and ways to encourage attendance and raise money. Past seminars such as one on Native American Resources were mentioned as possible fundraisers. Offering Continuing Education credits at programs might increase attendance and monies. Having sponsors for individual programs could offset costs to the Chapter of putting on these programs. Information Access and Charles Alexander of Iron Horse and mentioned as possible sponsors. Another suggestion was to use big names to draw people to programs. One name suggested was Joanne Clifton in Kingman. Speakers' Bureau lists provide possible speaker opportunities. ASU and ASU West put out these books. Dinner and a speaker could be offered as a fundraiser. The Chapter will soon be involved in the Regional Conference which will be a big fundraiser. A program could be offered on Patents and Trademarks. Laura Bender has a potential speaker from Texas and agreed to look into the details of her costs. Other program suggestions included XML, advanced web authoring, and knowledge management (Wanda Poindexter of SLA offers such a program). Possible speakers for International Special Librarians' Day include Chris Sugnet, who is in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates and will be back for a visit this summer. Charlotte Cohen is going to Japan in October as the Horner Fellow for AzLA and could be a speaker. The idea of having program costs break even or as close to even as possible was mentioned. Participants agreed that programs directed at students should be the exception to this policy. Ann Fiegen discussed the upcoming program about intranets, possible co-sponsors, and the details of the finances. How can more members be recruited? This will help bring revenues into the Chapter. Personal selling of the Chapter was raised as the best way to do this. The Membership Committee, chaired by Gordon Dutrisac, can promote the chapter, particularly to students. A committee was suggested to work toward this end. Suggested members included Gordon, Carla Smith, Carol Elliott, and Claire Macha. Evening and morning programs are now being offered by the Phoenix Networking chair, Sarah Ashton, as a chance for networking and recruiting. The idea of offering internships to promote the Chapter was mentioned. It was suggested to have a panel of real librarians for students. Students also want a tour of Intel and other special libraries. From Carla Smith. Members present:Jenny Mueller-Alexander, Ann Eagan, Laura Bender, Polin Lei, Chris Vathis, Cinda McClain, Carla Smith (agreed to take minutes in the absence of Louis Howley) The meeting began with a review of ARs (assigned responsibilities) from the previous Strategic Planning meeting held on September 22. The minutes and discussion of ARs together reflect the entire picture of the meeting. 1. Beefing up newsletter sponsorships: There was discussion about how to increase newsletter sponsorship.Laura Bender will be in contact with Dianne Bean, Bulletin Editor, and Lisa Bradley, Business Manager, and ask them to contact former vendors and solicit new vendors. She will also contact Elissa Cochran, University of Arizona Business Librarian, about helping with sponsorships. Elissa has considerable experience in that area.. 2. Patent and Trademark Workshop presented by Susan Ardis: Laura Bender has been in communication with Susan Ardis, a well-known speaker on the topic of patents and trademarks. Susan needs at least 6 months advance notice to schedule a workshop. If we book Susan ourselves and take care of her lodging and travel, the cost could be from $700.00 to $1000.00. If we have SLA headquarters book everything for Susan, there is an extra $300.00 charge. There was discussion about who to partner with for this event; where it could be held; what time of year; maximum number of participants, etc. Everyone agreed this would be a great workshop, but more information from Susan Ardis is needed. Laura Bender will contact Susan Ardis and report back. 3. Formalized Strategic Plan: Chris Vathis and Ann Eagan have been working together to create a strategic plan. There are two main goals of the plan. Goal 1 - By December, 1999, we will increase membership in the Arizona Chapter of the Special Libraries Association by 20 percent.To do this, we will - Goal 2 - By December, 1999, we will increase member participation in chapter activities by 25 percent.To do this, we will - Two formats for presentation were provided; one in text form and the other in table form. Both formats will be used since people process information differently. The table format would be used for tracking progress. The Strategic Plan will be posted and updated on the chapter Web site. Ann Eagan and Chris Vathis will meet and plug in activities/tasks in the appropriate categories. The final draft will be presented to the membership at the December business meeting. 4. Newsletter Publication Months: In an effort to save money, Dianne Bean suggested reducing the number of Bulletin issues from 6 to 4. For the 1999 publication schedule, the 4 months will be: February, April, August, and October. The issue datesof the Bulletin will precede chapter business meetings to give members advance notice of upcoming meetings. Laura Bender will pass this information to Dianne Bean. 5. Motivating student membership: Discussion about how to work with membership committee to increase student membership. Jenny will mention the need to encourage student membership to Gordon Dutrisac, Membership Chair. Laura Bender will ask Claire Macha to contact the UA Library School student representative, Sharon Silengo, about a tour of Intel's Resource Center that Chris Vathis is willing to give. 6. Iron Horse possible sponsorship: The information on Iron Horse is with Ann Fiegen. Ann Fiegen will give Lisa Bradley, Bulletin Business Manager, the contact information. Also discussed: Arizona Chapter Logo - Jenny Mueller- Alexander and Linda Shackle created a logo file that incorporates the SLA purple sphere with the text, Arizona Chapter, centered underneath. The text is in all capital letters in a sans serif font. The words, ARIZONA CHAPTER are slightly larger than the words, Special Libraries Association. Jenny will email board members the file that contains the logo. Chapter stationery will be made using this new logo. TENTATIVE PROGRAMS Knowledge Management Patent and Trademark Workshop Competitive Analysis - joint meeting with SCIP (IAC sponsored) International Special Librarians Day, April 23, 1999 SLA Distance Learning Other possible programs discussed:Along with brainstorming new program ideas, there was a serious discussion about our need to get sponsors for all our events since we are spending more than we are taking in. The chapter lost approximately $35.00 on the last SLA Distance Learning program, "Harnessing Intranet Potential."

This program is already scheduled for Wednesday, 18 November 1998 at 5:30 - 7:30 pm at The University of Arizona Science-Engineering Library.
As discussed, Laura Bender will contact Susan Ardis about presenting in April or May of 1999.
Ann Fiegen will contact Valerie Pomerenke about joint sponsorship with SCIP and the possibility of having the event at Salt River Project.
Pat Morris is already planning for this event. She had asked for $500.00 for the speaker. Laura Bender will contact Pat Morris for more information before we commit $500.00.Cinda McClain will arrange for us to have a proclamation from the Governor's Office acknowledging International Special Librarians Day.
This program will take place on March 4, 1999. The topic is "De-mystifying the Licensing of Electronic Resources." There was discussion about possible sponsors and that we really can't afford to lose money on this event. Ann Fiegen will contact vendors for possible sponsorship as well as other groups who may want to co-chair the event.
Jenny Mueller-Alexander suggested a program on Arizona business/economic development resources on the web. Jenny gave a presentation at the most recent AzLA conference entitled, "From The Ground Up: Constructing an Arizona Economic Development Web Site."
Jenny Mueller-Alexander mentioned that Carrie Russell of The University of Arizona had led a panel discussion at the most recent AzLA conference on electronic copyright issues. Cinda McClain, Government Relations Chair, volunteered to contact Carrie about writing an article on electronic copyright issues for the newsletter. Cinda would also ask Carrie if she would consider presenting her topic at a future chapter meeting. (Taken from the AzLA website: "Electronic Copyright Issues - A panel of librarians and an archivist will discuss their roles in digitization projects, and as fair use advocates, at research librariesand universities. Copyright in the digital environment and methods for engaging and educating the academic community regarding copyright issues will be discussed. )
December - in conjunction with Holiday Party - possibly held at Desert Botanical Garden
February - in conjunction with Competitive Analysis program/partner with SCIP - possibly held at SRP
May - in conjunction with Patent and Trademark Workshop - venue undetermined
Laura Bender has been in contact with Esther Gil of the Colorado chapter. The task our chapters have been given is to create a logo for the conference. The theme is - "Ahead of the Curve." Laura solicited ideas on how to get volunteers to create a logo. We discussed the possibility of having a contest for local graphic artists or art students to design a logo. Laura Bender will give these ideas to the larger logo committee and she will keep us updated.
There was some confusion about just what is the Global 2000 stipend. Basically, the chapter is being asked to donate money to fund a person to travel to Bristol, England. Laura will put more complete information about the stipend in the November newsletter.
Ann Eagan will submit an article to the Bulletin about email etiquette.
