I am posting the following message on behalf of my good friend, mentor
and colleague Patricia Barnett:
After thirteen years as the Andrew W. Mellon Chief Librarian, Pat
Barnett retired from her leadership role as the Andrew W. Mellon Chief
Librarian of the Frick Art Reference Library. Her accomplishments under
three directors of The Frick Collection redefined the Library for the
twenty-first century as a welcoming center for research, expanded
services and resources, reached out to a more diverse research
community, and engaged with peer institutions in partnerships to
confront the new technological challenges. Pat intends to enter the next
phase of her professional career by serving the broader art library and
information communities through consulting. She can be contacted at

I am sure that I lead a very large chorus of art librarians in wishing
Pat every success as she enters the next phase in her career and in
thanking her for her years of hard work and service at the Frick Art
Reference Library and in the profession at large. I had the pleasure of
working with her at the Frick for three years-she has always been and
will continue to be a role model for me and everyone else who has had
the good fortune to work for or with her.
