Proceedings of the Annual Pacific Islands Association of Libraries and Archives Conference (6th, Majuro, Marshall Islands, November 5-8, 1996). Cohen, Arlene, Ed. Access to Information Foreign Countries Health Education Information Sources Library Collections Library Development Library Services Public Libraries Story Telling This 1996 PIALA conference explores ways to identify and make available local resources on the Marshall Islands. The traditional Marshallese word, "Alele," which means "the basket which holds the tools, treasures and resources needed for everyday life," is also the name of Majuro's public library, museum and Marshall Islands Depository and is synonymous with Library and Archive in Marshallese. The theme of the conference, "Jaketo Jaketak Kobban Alele Eo," translated from the Marshallese, means "Take out of the 'alele,' and use it and share it."

Peacock, as well as 11 papers: (1) "Library Development in the Marshall Islands" (Honorable Christopher J.
