ALA Council Update.

This article discusses the proceedings of the American Library Association's (ALA) annual conference in Chicago, Illinois. There were two resolutions reached during the ALA Council that directly impact the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services. A request was made that the Machine Readable Form of Bibliographic Information (MARBI) expand the MARC 21 character set to include all of Unicode. A second resolution was presented that advocated the reduction of division membership fees for retired individuals. These resolutions came to the Council by way of membership meetings.
