This issue of FYeI has been given the expert editing services of two CUNY/CIS staffers, Holland Cotter and Liz Taylor.

It also marks the final issue under the chief editorship of Holland Cotter, who is leaving CUNY after more than 15 years of service. Cotter came to the University Computer Center in 1980 as a programmer in the Accounting and Utilization Control group, but the value of his previous experience writing for and editing arts journals quickly became apparent and he later joined the User Services documentation group, where he wrote both technical and end-user documents. At the same time he was awarded a Master of Arts degree in art history, from Hunter College and has since completed most requirements for a doctoral degree, specializing in Indian art, from Columbia University. His move from CUNY to a full-time position as a staff writer at The New York Times combines both his writing/editing skills and his deep knowledge of the visual arts.

Holland also combined these skills and interests when he became the editor of the former Communications, a newsletter of the University Computer Center, and redesigned it into FYeI, the official communication of the newly reorganized Computing and Information Services Office. Readers of FYeI will readily recognize the critical and appreciative eye he had for the multimedia courseware projects he reported on in past issues. As editor of a technology center's newsletter, he brought to it an empathy for the non-technical reader, a real breath of fresh air!

Taylor comes to FYeI as Editor-in-Chief with an equally impressive background, although one with a different focus. Most recently she has worked at CUNY/CIS, managing the Apple University Consortium program and serving as an editorial assistant to various other programs in the Office of Academic Computing. A CUNY BA graduate, with additional training in Business Administration at NYU, she also brings sales, marketing and document design experience from a position with Siegel & Gale, where clarity of content, ease of use, visual appeal and functionality were the requirements for successful projects. The prestigious communications design firm is best known for developing complex bank statements that are readily interpreted by the account owner, legal documents that are written in plain English, and the 1040EZ form for the Internal Revenue Service Liz also brings to FYeI an eye for style based upon her training in fashion design, another in her multi- faceted set of interests.

We wish all the best to Holland in his new position and we welcome Liz warmly as she assumes the position of Editor-in-Chief of FYeI.
