Carl Albert Center, University of Oklahoma This issue of the LSS Newsletter marks my last in my capacity as Director and Curator of the Carl Albert Center. Effective July 1, 2000, Gary Copeland is the new Director and Curator of the Center. I plan to fulfill my obligation as Chair of the Political Science Department for the next two years, and then return to the happy life of a tenured full professor appointed in the Center. Among my continuing duties at the Center, though, is the general editorship of the LSS Newsletter, so on that matter the buck stops here. Let me then offer a mea culpa: this past spring we failed to get the lists of recent legislative studies conference papers and journal articles on line as we had promised. By the time you read this, the omission will have been corrected. Happily, or ominously, we received no complaints. We intend to make some improvements in the electronic delivery, including putting a counter on the home page to track access and activating a bulletin board where section members can post questions and comments. We are also developing a set of cost-containing options regarding the newsletter. We hope to have a preliminary discussion of this at the section meeting at APSA on September 1, perhaps leading to further deliberations. In the meantime, we’ll continue with the newsletter in its present format at http://www.apsanet.org/~lss/. We welcome your suggestions and comments. |
