New library co-operative agreements:

New service agreements have been signed this month with Washington County-Jonesboro Public Library (in the same arrangement as presently enjoyed with Greeneville-Green County) and Chattanooga State Technical Community College.

ALINET:

Jack Smith is the new president of the Alliance of Libraries in Northeast Tennessee, a consortium of all the public and academic libraries from Bristol to Morristown.

Kudos:

Congrats to Dr. Sexton for the review of his Battles & Leaders series title Signals Intelligence, which appears in the January issue of Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries. FYI, Don is the fourth Tennessee historian to publish a book in that series; upon publication of his Stalingrad work next year, Dr. Fred Kaufmann will be the fifth. For both projects, Mr. Tunstall provided significant interlibrary loan support.
