WORTH REPEATING...
"Chancellor King, Provost Salins, COO Richard Miller, the SUNY
Board of Trustees and the Governor would be well served to
recognize the cooperative nature and purchasing power created
between the OLIS office and the SUNY campus libraries.  ...
recognition that SUNY libraries are the models for cooperative
and intelligent sharing of resources within SUNY."

        SUNYLA President (outgoing)
