To all of my wonderful colleagues:
Today is my last day at MOCA. Although I survived the first round of
budget cuts, I did not survive this round. MOCA is in poor financial
shape and has laid off two curators, the chief registrar, the head of
the exhibitions crew, the head of IT, several development staff and many
others. This effectively means the library will be closed to all outside
patrons, including interlibrary loans. It will not have staff for
in-house circulation or money for acquisitions and regular maintenance.
It will probably revert to the condition I found it in nine years ago,
but now with a collection of almost 40,000 books.
I plan to continue being active in the field and will remain on the
Cataloging Advisory Committee. My contact information is below if you
would like to reach me.
