Abstrakt: The article presents information on summary reports of various programs or pre-conferences sponsored by Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS). The members of ALCTS compiled these reports. A program titled "Effective Committee Management: Basic Skills for Success," staged by the ALCTS Leadership Development Committee, basic skills that committee chairs and members should have to carry out their roles effectively. According to a speaker at the program, a committee leader should first enjoy his/her leadership, since managing a committee is the best way to meet people, to make a difference, to mentor new leaders, to spread enthusiasm, and to publicize accomplishments. Another program tilted "Growing Our Own: Mentoring Library Science Students for Cataloging" described the mentoring relationship. According to a speaker, the mentor is increasingly being perceived as a facilitator or helper, facilitating learning by encouraging the protege to test his assumptions, and fostering trust by ensuring confidentiality.
