May I pitch in an unsolicited encouragement to my fellow ARLIS/NA members to consider taking advantage of this opportunity?
I have been privileged to attend a couple of ARLIS/UK & Ireland conferences in the past, and the experiences were wonderfully invigorating. They offer an opportunity to get a different perspective on issues facing art libraries everywhere, and a chance to meet a new set of colleagues. ARLIS/UK & Ireland is a friendly, congenial group of people -- and Birmingham is a very nice place to visit, with a center full of striking architecture and some excellent restaurants -- so I do hope people on this side of the water will make an effort to get to the conference there this summer.
