On a personal note—the 1996 ARLIS/NA conference in Miami Beach offered a tour of the Sackner collection. To my lasting regret, I had to miss the tour because I was chairing the Cataloging Advisory Committee, which met at the same time. Now, 23 years later, the collection is located a few feet from my office door!

 

Greetings to all

Tim
