Dear ARLIS/NA - members- it is with great sadness that I announce the passing of Barbara Sykes-Austin on April 12, 2022. She died peacefully at home of cancer after nine days of home hospice. Her beloved husband Bill Austin was with her. Working at Avery Library was a dream job for Barbara. She and Paula Gabbard started the same day in 1987 as Indexer/Reference Librarians. Barbara retired in 2013. She loved working with students and also incor[porated the role of Urban Planning Bibliographer into her duties. Barbara was the consummate indexer who was detaIl oriented and worked to preserve standards in vocabulary and online records. Barbara was also very active in ARLIS/NA, serving as national Treasurer as well as participating in New York conferences. She was active in AASL and Urban Planning librarian groups. She will be missed by all her colleagues. Final arrangements are still being made.
