1999 marks Year 1 of the Touzot WESS Program Grant of $1000. Having worked with American libraries and librarians for over forty years, the distinguished firm of Jean Touzot, libraire-éditeur, has formalized its support of WESS in a characteristically thoughtful manner from which the Section will derive benefit for years to come. This year's conference-celebrating, appropriately, the Section's 20th anniversary-will be the first of many to enjoy the quality of programming made possible by the Touzot Grant. To M. Touzot and his colleagues a heartfelt Merci!
