From the Editor<br />
I once heard someone say, in a parody of a famous quotation, "We<br />
have identified the enemy - and he is us! "This came to mind when I listened<br />
to the debate during the Annual Conference on the theme: 'The ZLA - A<br />
Force to Reckon With'. Speakers and delegates were critical of the Association<br />
(with some justification), particularly in relation to the proposed<br />
National Library and Documentation Service.<br />
However, perhaps we need to be reminded that we, the members, are<br />
the Association -and in many cases our criticism of the ZLA can be criticism<br />
of ourselves. The poor attendance of members from Harare at the Conference<br />
is just one indicator of the apparent apathy which seems to grip many<br />
members.<br />
The resolutions passed at the Conference have at least given some<br />
indication of the feelings of members, and the ZLA Council is happy to take<br />
the matters up. Sub-committees of both Council and ordinary members<br />
have been set up to look into the vital issues of library education and<br />
professional standards.<br />
However, it is not necessary to wait for Council to initiate action or for<br />
the next Annual Conference. You can make the ZLA work by taking a more<br />
active part in Branch meetings,and bylettingthe Editor know your views so<br />
that this journal can become a better vehicle for the communication of<br />
ideas. You have joined the <strong>Zimbabwe</strong> Library Association - and it is you !<br />
