The staff of the Flaxman Library announce with regret the passing of our dear colleague, Fred Hillbruner, on November 15th. Fred was a remarkably intelligent, creative, and gentle soul who was Head of Technical Services at School of the Art Institute of Chicago's John M. Flaxman Library for 26 years. Fred was in charge of library systems, cataloging, acquisitions, and good cheer. Patience, professionalism, and a droll sense of humor were his trademarks. He mentored many new librarians, and helped to guide many student workers into library- or book-arts-related skills. During his time at the School he led us from a card catalog to an online telnet catalog, and through three successive versions of web-accessible online catalogs. His foresight led to the Flaxman Library's early membership in a number of state and national library consortia. Fred also pioneered the cataloging of artists' books, and was recognized internationally as a "go-to" person for this area of specialty. He was invited to speak at the upcoming, spring 2005, Symposium on Artists' Books at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. He was an active member of the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA). Of all his many accomplishments, Fred was most proud of his family. Those of you who knew and loved Fred may send your condolences to his wife, Barbara Giloth, and their children, Christopher and Elizabeth. [Please e-mail Henrietta Zielinski ([log in to unmask]) or Claire Eike ([log in to unmask]) for a mailing address. The family requests no phone calls or visits at this time.] You are invited to attend the service which will be held for Fred at All Saints Episcopal Church, 4550 N. Hermitage, at 2:00 p.m. next Sunday, November 21st, 2004. ========================= From the staff of the John M.
