A reunion honoring Betty Jo (B.J.) Irvine will be held from 8-10 p.m. on Saturday, April 18th, 2009 at the 37th Annual conference of the Art Libraries Society of North America in Indianapolis.  Irvine served as the Head of the Fine Arts Library at Indiana University for 41 years before her retirement in 2007.  In addition to providing formal instruction in the Seminar in Art Librarianship and Research Sources in Art History courses, she also mentored dozens of students, employees, and co-workers throughout their professional careers.

The Indiana University Reunion honoring Betty Jo Irvine is being billed for "all Irvinites - former students, employees, associates, IU alums, etc.”  The reunion will feature refreshments, good fellowship, and a slide show of days gone by.  All Irvinites are requested to submit digital copies of their “IU days” pictures for the slide show to Kristen Mastel.

Interested ARLIS/NA attendees are encouraged to register for the reunion as a part of their conference registration: http://www.indiana.edu/~indycon/registration.html  Registration for this reunion DOES NOT require an additional charge for ARLIS/NA members.
