Cataloging is a cooperative endeavor and I am glad that we art catalogers had Mark in our society and Society. He and those he led and inspired at the Frick Art Reference Library were strong contributors to the NACO (name authority) program of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging. And then he took the Frick to independence as a full member of PCC (NACO, BIBCO, and SACO). He frequently hosted the New York City [Art] Catalogers Discussion Group when it was active in the '90s and aughts. He did this all with the humor that we expect from catalogers.

I wish Mark a wonderful retirement.

Hello ARLISians:

 

I am retiring this month from the Frick Art Reference Library, where I have been Head of Bibliographic Records since 1997, and where I have worked full-time since 1984. While not all that active in ARLIS/NA I have presented once and moderated a couple of times at our annual conferences, and contributed a Cataloging Section column to the long-defunct print publication ARLIS/NA Update for a few years. I have always appreciated the acumen, collegiality and professionalism of the Society. At the Frick I have been fortunate to work under 3 Mellon Librarians: Helen Sanger, Patricia Barnett and Stephen Bury. I am greatly appreciative of the guidance and support of Deborah Kempe, Chief, Collections Management and Access, at the Frick. Debbie has pushed us to participate in BIBCO, ECIP, and LD4P (Linked Data for Production) as well as other national and international endeavors. I will miss my colleagues at the Frick, in NYARC and in the Art Libraries Society of North America. Best wishes for the holidays and in the New Year.

 

Sincerely,

 

Mark
