CHLA/ABSC Board Members do the Two Step
CHLA/ABSC Board Members Janet Joyce, Secretary and Lea Starr,
Past-President have recently moved to new positions in the library
community.
Janet Joyce has joined the Caritas Health Group as manager of library services for the Misericordia Community Hospital and Health Centre and Grey Nuns Community Hospital and Health Centre. She moved west from Ottawa where she had been manager of library services for the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group for over 8 years. Prior to her move she had been active as Chair of the University of Ottawa Affiliated Hospital Libraries Group. Janet was born and raised in Quebec and this is her first experience working in the west. Edmonton was in the middle of one of its nice long cold spells, -25C to -30C when she arrived which made apt. hunting somewhat challenging.
Lea Starr returned to the University of Alberta Library, joining the staff in the Science and Technology Library on January 1st. She had completed a 1.5 year secondment from the John W. Scott Health Sciences Library to the Caritas Health Group. She is extremely pleased that Caritas decided to fill the librarian position on a permanent basis and that they were able to lure Janet to Edmonton to take the job. She is now learning the ins and outs of Standards and Patents as well as relying on her background in biochemistry.
Janet and Lea can now be reached as follows:

"In Memoriam"
Kay Irvine (1954-1996) earned her M.L.S. with honors from the University of California at Berkeley in 1978 and had been Library Director at Western States Chiropractic College since 1980. That same year she initiated the Index to Chiropractic Literature, the leading cumulative index of academic writings in chiropractic, and had edited it since that time. Her professional life was distinguished by service at the regional and national level, including the Chiropractic Libraries Section of MLA, PNC/MLA, OHSLA, and the Chiropractic Librry Consortium. She was inducted into the Academy of Health Information Professionals as a Distinguished Member in 1990.
Kay was a Master Gardener, a gourmet cook, an enthusiastic traveler, an avid tennis player, an opera buff, a knitter of gorgeous sweaters, an incurable chocolate lover, and a voracious reader. She volunteered for years at the Midland Branch of the Multnomah County Public Library.
Memorial contributions, if in the form of a check, can be made out to Western States Chiropractic College, indicating The Kay Irvine Memorial Fund.
