REMINDER:
The Photography Libraries/Librarians informal gathering will take place at
the St. Louis conference on Sunday, March 24 from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m.
Please check the message board for the meeting location. The meeting is
open to anyone interested in issues relating to photography and libraries.
Below is a menu of topics that we will be choosing from to discuss, and new
topics of interest may also be introduced.
If that's not reason enough to attend, we've spiced the pot with valuable
items for a prize drawing: Philipp Scholz Rittermann: Navigating by Light, a
recent catalog from the Museum of Photographic Arts; and a genuine coffee
mug from the Center for Creative Photography, ergonomically sublime in its
design, glazed with real ceramic glaze and constructed of only the finest
ceramic materials--certainly destined for museum design collections and sure
to become a collector's item!
