[CLClist] March issue of CLC's CONNtext now available online

[Christine Sarrazin]

Dear CLC members,

We at CLC invite you to visit www.ctlibrarians.org/news/ 
newsletter.html and download the March issue of our newsletter,  
CONNtext. It's a great issue, filled with opportunities for learning,  
saving, and connecting. But most importantly, this special edition is  
a tribute to our late office manager, Jan Gluz. If you were fortunate  
enough to know Jan, you'll be able to relate to the anecdotes that  
CLC's director, Christine Bradley, recalls in her moving cover  
article. If you didn't know Jan, our stories will give you a glimpse  
of the remarkable person you missed.

Of course, our work goes on (albeit not as smoothly), as Jan would  
have wanted it to - so here's what else you'll find inside this issue:

--Details on the OCLC Direct Program for 2008-2009
--9 March roundtable programs that you and your staff shouldn't miss
--Signup info for the New Britain Rock Cats' 8th Annual Reading Books  
in Summer (RBIS) Program
--Spring discounts from H.W. Wilson, Encyclopaedia Britannica, and more
--New database offers from WALDO
--Lots of library happenings and member news.

A reminder ... Trendspotting III is coming up soon - Friday, March 14  
at the University of Hartford. Register online at  
www.ctlibrarians.org for your chance to hear top-notch speakers in  
the area of Open Source technology: OCLC's George Needham, LibLime's  
Josh Ferraro, CARE Affiliates' Carl Grant, WALDO's John Stromquist,  
David Lindahl from the eXtensible Catalog project, and Karen  
Schneider, the Free Range Librarian.

As always, thanks for your membership. Enjoy CONNtext.

--Christine S.
