Please join the ARLIS/Southern California chapter for our fall meeting on Thursday November 6, 2008.
The ARLIS Southern California Chapter Board would like to encourage ARLIS members to consider making individual donations to the Judith Hoffberg Fund. We feel this is the most practical and timely way for assistance to make its way to Judith.
According to our bylaws, as a Chapter we are unable make an individual contribution or collect monies to distribute (through a fundraiser) to an individual, so we feel that encouraging donations to the Judith Hoffberg Fund is the most helpful thing we can do.
For those of you who did not see the earlier message on ARLIS-L, I have copied it below. Please send any contributions to the address provided below.
Best regards,
Robert Gore
ARLIS-SC Chair (on behalf of the Board)
Dear ARLIS Members,
Judith Hoffberg founded ARLIS/NA in 1972, when she brought together ten leading art librarians at ALA in Chicago to create an organization devoted to this demanding field. Her fascinating account of the early years of ARLIS/NA appeared as an interview with Amy Navratil Ciccone in the Spring 2008 Art Documentation.
Judy is very ill now with leukemia and has run through her hospitalization insurance. The copay has been costing her $200 per day, and she could use some of our help.
Donations should be sent to:
Judith Hoffberg Fund

ARLIS/Southern California chapter would like to announce the 2008 winner of ARLIS/SC’s Judith A. Hoffberg Travel Award. This year’s recipient is Chizu Morihara. Chizu is a Catalog Librarian at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
ARLIS/SC is proud to be able to support Chizu in attending her second ARLIS/NA conference where she will be participating in workshops and sessions, as well as reconnecting with colleagues and her ARLIS/NA mentor. In particular, we were impressed with Chizu’s letter of application in which she clearly articulated her dedication to art librarianship and the importance of being active through chapter participation, leadership, and attendance at local and national meetings. While a student at UCLA, Chizu co-founded ARTiFACTS, a student group involved with information issues related to collections of or about visual arts and artifacts. It was through this association that she became involved with ARLIS/SC. Chizu was chosen because of her record of activity in the local chapter, participating in panel discussions, chapter committees, and discussion groups.
Congratulations to Chizu and we thank all of the applicants who applied for the award this year!

ARLIS/SC is proud to be able to support Shilpa in attending her first ARLIS/NA conference where she will be receiving her award.

At the conference, she plans to attend sessions that will explore issues of digital preservation and visual information retrieval, and to discuss these topics with professionals in the field.
