Dear Art and Architecture folks,

Apologies for cross-posting.

ARLIS approaches more rapidly than I would have ever thought possible.  The RLG Roundtable is scheduled to happen on Friday, March 25, 2011, from Noon to 1:30pm, in the Duluth Room of the Minneapolis Hilton Downtown. 

And it’s already time for our annual series of round robin questions.

By Monday, March 7, 2011, please post your institution’s answer to the Round Robin questions, listed way down below, either to this very discussion list, or send them privately to [log in to unmask].

Amy Lucker of NYU’s Institute of Fine Arts library will do her usual fantastic round-up at the end of our RLG Roundtable in Minneapolis.

Looking forward to seeing many of you in the Twin Cities.  I’ll be asking for RSVP’s to the RLG Roundtable meeting itself soon, plus providing more info about the agenda, etc.

For now, it’s on with the round robin!

--Dennis
