Kravetz Hands Off to Schmidt
Mary Lou Kravetz, Gold Coast Library Network Program Manager since February 2001, leaves her post at the end of April to go into her family business. Mary Lou, the first GCLN Program Manager, brought her experience in special (Rand Corpora- tion) and academic (Pacifica Graduate Institute) libraries and in TIE (Total Interlibrary Exchange, multi-type organization) to the tasks of managing	the fledgling network. She developed and defined the position and laid a strong foundation for Network program management at Gold Coast. Mary Lou will pass the baton to Vince Schmidt on April 29, 2002. Vince worked as Library Cooperation Coordi- nator in Illinois some years ago when that state's public library cooperatives were making the transition to multi-	type library cooperative. He also has extensive experience in library sales. The Network extends its appreciation and thanks to Mary Lou for her out- standing work as its founding Network Program Manager. GCLN welcomes Vincent Schmidt and looks forward to working with him in this important leadership position.
