Staff -- Library Journal, 1/11/1999

James Matarazzo, dean of the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, Simmons College, Boston, has been elected vice-president/president-elect of the Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE). Louise Robbins, director of the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was voted to a three-year term as director. They will assume their responsibilities at the end of the ALISE 1999 National Conference in Philadelphia, January 26-29. In November 1998, ALISE announced a leadership succession plan due to the resignation of then president-elect Anne Woodsworth. Acting under their bylaws, the board asked current president, Shirley Fitzgibbons, Indiana University School of Library and Information Science, Bloomington, and the current past-president, Toni Carbo, University of Pittsburgh School of Information Sciences, to remain in office for an additional year.
