Wayne Wilson, VP, Amateur Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles, who recently produced a successful CD product is our speaker. Two panel discussions are planned which will provide stimulating discussion among panelists and conference participants. On Friday we have a session on The Sports Publishers' Perspective: paper or cyberspace? with Richard Lipsey, Editor of Sports Market Place and Betty Jaynes, from Women's Basketball Coaches Association. A third panelist will be announced later. A session on Women and Sport which will cover contemporary issues is honored to have Marjorie Snyder, Associate Executive Director of the Women's Sports Foundation, Michael Salmon, Reference Librarian, AAFLA and Mila Su, a Master's candidate/Librarian from Penn State. Our State of the Art sessions will feature a returning speaker, Connie Wernersbach, Atlanta Centennial Olympic Properties and Tom Meyers, Archivist who will update us on Atlanta Olympic "happenings" and archives. On Friday we will welcome Taylor Watson from the Paul W. Bryant Museum and Laura Rose from the National Sporting Library.

We have a second speaker in mind for this session and this should be confirmed soon. The final session on Saturday will feature the SPORT Database and participants will have an opportunity to discuss the future development of the database and other SIRC services. The social side of our conference has not been neglected. Elaine Powers, our local arrangements coordinator is making certain we will get a taste of true southern hospitality.

AMATEUR ATHLETIC FOUDATION OF LOS ANGELES (AFFLA) Over the past few months AAFLA has received two significant gifts. The first, from the estate of Stu Black, consists of hundreds of books and media guides utilized by Mr. Black during his career as sports writer and commentator on Roy Firestones' Sports Look on the ESPN network. The second donation, from the estate of Budd Symes, contains over 40,000 color slides and black and white prints on Southern California beach sports taken during Mr. Symes career. The photographs cover beach volleyball, Muscle Beach activity, surfing and outrigger canoe races among others. With the addition of this donation the AAFLA photographic collection has been significantly strengthened bringing the total number of images in the Library's collection to over 90,000. AAFLA is also in the process of developing a new section on their home page (the WWW address is: http://www.aafla.com) called the Olympic Primer. This section is intended to impart basic facts about the Olympic movement and the upcoming Olympic Games in Atlanta. AAFLA has many requests for basic Olympic Games information and it is hoped that many of the students' or educators' information needs will be satisfied with this new addition to their web service. This new section should be available by November 1, 1995. AAFLA is also pleased to report that their CD ROM An Olympic journey: the story of women at the Olympic Games has been requested by many libraries and schools in North American and it is now in institutions in 20 other countries too.

1ST CENTURY PROJECT We are delighted to inform NASLINE readers that a major 25 volume publishing effort on the history of the Olympic Games is about to be made available to libraries and the public in early 1996. For the past 10 years, The 1st Century Project in Los Angeles has researched the history of the Olympic Games, discovering papers, photographs, correspondence and other sources of information around the world which was previously not known to researchers. The primary goal of this research is to produce a highly readable set of volumes on the 100 year history of the Olympic Games. Each volume covers an Olympiad (begins with the Opening Ceremonies of the summer Olympic Games) or four year period. Along with the history of each Olympiad, each volume has a chapter on the political aspects with the developments and/or growth of the federations, National Olympic Committees and other important events surrounding that Olympiad or Olympic Winter Game. Each volume will include a comprehensive chronology for that four year period plus an extensive bibliography. Other highlights include the translation of Pierre de Coubertin's writings, correspondence and selected newspaper stories into English. Information on the two cancelled Olympic Games which heretofore has not been known will also be included. Volume 1 is entitled, The Ancient Games and the Bridge to the Modern Era and Volume 24 will contain an hundred years statistical compilation and the Master Index. The set is completed with v25, the Atlanta Games. The writers for the Project include many former Time Life writers with the well-known Laura Foreman as the Editor-in-Chief. This set will be available on subscription beginning in January 1996 and carry on to 1997. The cost will be $17.95 US each volume. Bibliographic details include: Series title: The Olympic Century: the Official 1st Century History of the Modern Olympic Movement Address of Publisher: 1st Century Project, World Sport Research and Publications, 1424 North Highland Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90028 Orders tel no: 213-461-2900 FAX: 213-461-2997 Plans are also underway to produce a series of videos which will be a companion to the book series. Later, in 1997 and 1998, all of these sources will be merged into a CD-ROM version. So collection librarians and "Olympiafiles" put aside your pennies for you do not want to miss the acquisition of this magnificent work.
