It's almost Thanksgiving and I'm thankful that Jonathan Franklin is our AWS editor. He has again almost instantaneously put the new issue of Update up on the web at http://www.arlisna.org/arlismembers/updatedec2003.html, within the members-only area. This issue is a short one, with reports from President Allen Townsend on the mid-year Executive Board meeting, a thoughtful article from the Academic Libraries Division on the need to recruit future librarians, and reports from the Mountain West and New England chapter. The issue features a long Bibliographic Notes column with annotated listings of web sites on subjects ranging from the agencies engaged in protecting international art and the cultural heritage of Afghanistan and Iraq to listings of foundations offering grants in the arts, and a short list of interesting new web sites in the arts. Happy holiday reading!
