Deborah and a PDC member.

2.) Revisit the discussion from last year about preserving the integrity
and uniqueness of fine arts librarianship in light of more and more mergers

the need for advocacy of humanities and arts resources.
*Does anyone have any new stories -- successes or disasters -- to share?
*How are electronic resource budgets structured in various institutions?
*Is anyone having to rely more heavily on general library budgets? Or are
your budgets able to support/accomodate the new electronic resources? (i.e.
ARTstor, JSTOR)
4.) Working off of another discussion last year, can/shall we organize a
network within the ALD that serves as a support group in areas of special
interest. How might we administrate?
