On behalf of the ARLIS/NA New England Chapter Board, I am pleased to announce that Otto Luna is the recipient of this year's Wolfgang Freitag Professional Development Award.
Otto Luna received a BA in Art History from Fordham University and a Master of Library Science degree from Queens College, CUNY. He worked as an art indexer and abstractor for the H.W. Wilson Company in New York and EBSCO Information Services in Ipswich,
MA. He is currently the Visual Resources Librarian at the University of New Hampshire and resides in Beverly, MA.
The Wolfgang Freitag Award is made possible through the generous donations of New England Chapter members. Awarded in the amount of $1,000 to one recipient annually, it is intended to aid and encourage the professional development of chapter members and
to ensure the vibrant future of the art librarianship profession.
Otto will use the Award to attend the 2017
Summer Education Institute for Visual Resources and Image Management, which will help him acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully accomplish his goals as the Visual Resources Librarian at UNH.
Please join me in congratulating Otto!
Sincerely,
Ashley Peterson
ARLIS/NA New England Chapter Past Chair
