As past Chair of CUAC I gave a paper at ACMLA this July at Memorial University, St. John's detailing CUAC's history and operations for our Canadian counterparts who are considering a similar organization. It will appear in their Bulletin this fall. I would hope Melissa would answer to this, too, but I know she is very busy preparing for the meeting. Linda Newman. (702) 784-6596 [log in to unmask]
