Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the ARLIS/NA Communications and Publications Committee it is my pleasure to announce the addition of a major new section within an existing ARLIS/NA Online Publication: Maintenance Recommendations in Artist Files Revealed: Documentation and Access<http://www.arlisna.org/pubs/onlinepubs/artist_files_revealed.pdf> Written and compiled by: The ARLIS/NA Artist Files Working Group This new edition of the online publication Artist Files Revealed: Documentation and Access includes an additional chapter of maintenance recommendations written by Anne Simmons and Linda Psomas. These new recommendations cover the essential practicalities of creating and maintaining an Artist Files collection: classification of the files, assigning locations, physically creating the files, labeling, housing, filing and circulation. These maintenance recommendations join MARC cataloging recommendations to represent indispensible documentation needed to create and provide access to an artist file collection. In conjunction with the Online Directory<http://www.artistfilesrevealed.com/tiki/tiki-index.php> of artist file collections, this publication provides vital and authoritative guidance to creating and making available an artist file collection. The new, expanded edition of this ARLIS/NA Online Publication can be accessed free of charge at: http://www.arlisna.org/pubs/onlinepubs/artist_files_revealed.pdf and can be downloaded from the Online Publications<http://www.arlisna.org/pubs/onlinepubs/index.html> section of the ARLIS/NA website.
