Alice Lohrer, instructor in Library Science, has been elected vicepresident and president-elect of the Illinois Library Association. M s Lohrer attended the Institute on Personnel Administration in Libraries in Chicago last summer while studying at the University of Chicago Graduate Library School. She took part in a number of library discussion meetings in various parts of the state during the fall semester. She is also assisting Coronet Instructional Films in the production of a film for teaching the use of library materials to high school students. Miss Lohrer is serving as president of the University of Illinois Library Club. Norma B. Cass, reference librarian of the University of Kentucky Library, is teaching the courses in reference and government publications this year during the absence of Miss Phelps.
