Congratulations and thank you to Carol and team! OSLA and CASL As noted in the new column, School Library World, the Canadian School Library Association (CSLA) and the Association for Teacher- Librarianship in Canada (ATLC) have merged to form a new associ- ation, the Canadian Association for School Libraries (CASL). President Marlene Asselin and I met at the CLA/BCSLA conference in Victoria last June, and have since had a Marlene, who believes that CASL is only as strong as the provincial associations, has started her part- nership with Ontario, and plans to call each one of the other provin- cial associations. In addition to this, another Marlene, Thames Valley's Marlene Turkington, has taken on the role of president of CASL for the upcoming year. We are thrilled with this appointment, as Marlene is a very strong advo- cate for school libraries, with a strong vision and concrete goals, who will work closely with OSLA members.

As noted in the Executive Summary, "The ODL will coordinate the purchase and delivery of electronic information and virtual services on behalf of all Ontarians and Ontario libraries.
