My term as Chair of the Communications Committee comes to an end this summer. While I will continue other duties through mid-May, this issue of the Chronicle—my sixteenth as Editor—is my last. There are no plans at this time to continue the publication. The first issue I edited was the winter issue of 2006 (Volume 24, No. 1): <http://mlaphil.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/winter2006.pdf>, taking over from Linda Katz, who had served as Editor for seven years.

Lisabeth M. Holloway, former Vice-Chairman (1968-69) and Chairman (1969-70) of the Philadelphia Regional Chapter of MLA, died on February 3, 2011. She had been in failing health for some years. Ms. Holloway had been Associate Curator and then Curator of Historical Materials at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia (CPP), and was most recently a resident of Durham, NC. Surviving are her husband, George (a retired librarian with the Free Library of Philadelphia), two sons, and two grandsons. Contributions in her memory can be made to the Germantown Friends School, 31 West Coulter Street, Philadelphia, PA 19144. Online condolences can be made at http://www.hudsonfuneralhome.com.

I am pleased to announce that, as the owner of the mlaphil group on LinkedIn, I have just switched us to an open discussion group. All future discussions will be fully visible, searchable, and shareable on the Web. All past discussions are now closed in a members-only archive. I look forward to our future discussions now joining the broader conversation of the wider Web.
