The CoALL Scuttle was published four times - October, January, April, and July. Copies were sent to all CoALL members, AALL Headquarters and other Chapter Newsletter Editors. Extra copies were sent to the editor and distributed at public relations events such as the Institute, Rocky Mountain Book Festival, talks to library school students, etc.

Printing and mailing costs have been underwritten by Rothman's since 1990. We are very grateful for their continuing support, however, beginning with the July 1999 issue, the Scuttle will be printed locally. With the sale of Rothman’s to Hein, this change will ensure a timely printing and distribution schedule. It is expected that advertising revenues will cover the cost of producing the newsletter.

Another positive change is the fact that Caryl Shipley, University of Denver Law Library, agreed to take on the position of Editor. She changed the software program, instituted a new format and has continually provided quality content for the past three issues. Current issues of the newsletter will be available on the CoALL homepage in the near future. Formatting changes have prevented us from including older issues of the Scuttle, but there is a complete print archive available at the University of Denver Law Library.

The advertising fee structure has remained the same for several years now, but the number of advertisements has increased. There were 14 full-page ads placed by 3 different vendors over the course of the last year. This is an increase of three ads over 1998. The CoALL Scuttle has a free listing in Nathan's Legal Markets (an advertising sourcebook). The Newsletter Advertising Committee solicits no advertisements. The $840 generated from advertisements went into CoALL's general operating budget.

Special thanks go to all those who have contributed articles to the Scuttle during the past year. The continued support of individual authors is vital in order to produce an interesting and valued newsletter.

After each issue is produced, Patty sends Chapter and Member news items to the following newsletters for publication: AALL Spectrum, SWALL Bulletin, PLL Perspectives and the ALL newsletter. As Newsletter Advertising Chair she plans to attend the Council of Newsletter Editors (CONE) meeting at AALL in July in addition to attending the PR Chapter Liaison meeting.
