Dear Colleagues, The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) just released a new recommended practice, Demand Driven Acquisition of Monographs (NISO RP‑20‑2014). It is a short report, but I learned a lot, especially about how libraries handle eBooks. Just to share. It is available for free download from the Demand-Driven Acquisition Working Group webpage on the NISO website at: www.niso.org/workrooms/dda/.

Gslisadjuncts Thank you

Dear Colleagues, Thank you so much for the wonderful basket of fruit and sweets and especially for your support these past weeks. My Father's memorial was yesterday and it was lovely. He was 96 years old and passed peacefully at home with his family after a long struggle with Alzheimer's Disease. He spent most of his life serving others - he was a WWII veteran as well as a NYC firefighter for 35 years. I know my Mother will be very touched by your thoughtfulness and kind condolences. I continue to be grateful for being part of such a caring community. With sincere thanks, Linda

Gslisadjuncts Thanks...

Dear Colleagues, Thank you so much for the beautiful fruit basket--or should I say fruit tower? And even more for your kind words of support and good wishes during this difficult time. We are leaving shortly to join my Mom, as sister Callie must return to Massachusetts, and we are taking turns to be with my Mom. We will bring the fruit basket with us and I know it will touch my Mom as much or more as it has touched us with your thoughtfulness. After a very challenging week, Dad's death was a peaceful one, and the hospice staff did everything possible to make sure Dad was comfortable and the family was supported and kept informed of what to expect. It is never easy to lose a parent, but this was the right time for Dad to go, and comforting to know that he is at peace. Many many thanks to you all. Claudia and Tom
