Dear Friends, After 21 wonderful years, my position at the Fine Arts Library has been eliminated due to the current layoff. My tenure at Harvard began in 1988, when I was hired by Helene Roberts as the Assistant Curator of Visual Collections. It was truly a privilege to be under the leadership of Wolfgang Freitag. The care and respect with which he treated all of the staff fostered a spirit of cooperation and collegiality. As an art librarian for more than 30 years, I have relied on ARLIS as a vital resource for professional advice and guidance. Despite these challenging economic times, I hope that you will come and enjoy our beautiful city for the 2010 conference. With all good wishes to the membership, Andrea C.
