Hello,

        I am a graduate student in library and information science at the
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.  I am currently doing research on
automation of slide collection catalogs.  I am focusing on architectural
slide collections, but am interested in all art libraries experiences.  If
you have had any experience with these issues or can recommend any
resources to me, I would appreciate your reply to the following
questionnaire.
        Thank you in advance for your help!!
