As part of its 25th anniversary celebration, the ARLIS/New York Chapter
awarded an honorary lifetime membership to William Bond Walker, one of its
long-time members.  Serving as the Arthur K. Watson Chief Librarian at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art from 1980 until 1994, "Bill" was very involved in
the Art Libraries Society on both the local and national levels, and in the
International Federation of Libraries (IFLA), on the international level.

As head of Watson Library, he participated in many cooperative adventures to
help support electronic conversion of the Library's holdings in preparation
for an online catalog.  One important effort was to help establish the Art
Library Consortium (AMLAP), a joint program involving the Metropolitan
Museum, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of Modern Art and
Brooklyn Museum of Art libraries, who cooperated on fundraising for
retrospective conversion projects in all four institutions.

He was warm and friendly to his colleagues, truly supported the exchange of
research materials and fostered cooperation between institutions.  Art
librarians who worked with him at the Watson and in the art community as a
whole have admired his leadership qualities and regard him as a mentor and
role model.

Please join the New York Chapter and congratulate Bill for this lifetime
membership award.
