Hello Everyone,

We just received our copy of Gordon Matta-Clark's book by Phaidon Pr (ISBN 0714839167).  Acquisitions was going to send it back because the center of the spine is cut out.  Fortunately, they called me to take a look at it.  I noticed that while the spine has been cut out, it was neatly done.  Further, when I opened the book and looked at its content, images with cut-outs, I figured it's simply great packaging.

I showed it to my colleagues in reference and they are divided whether it was done intentionally or by mistake.  Any of you have a copy of this book and noticed the cut out spine?...you wouldn't have missed it.

Thanks.

-Mario

Subject: [ARLIS-L] question for visual resources curators (academic)

> Hi! I'm conducting an informal survey for visual resources 
> curators in the

> How many of you are faculty and how many are staff?
> Is there somewhere documentation of statistics on professional

> this position in academic settings?
> 
> I note that "Criteria for Hiring..." on this site 
> http://www.vraweb.org/criteria2.htm suggests that VR Curators 
> should be 
> faculty at the same level as art librarians but I know, for 
> example, that 
> in the CSU statewide they are not..... So I am now wondering how
