ARLIS/Southern California Vice Chair/Chair Elect

We will be treated to a tour of the renovated Arts Library at UCSD (http://libraries.ucsd.edu/locations/arts/) and to the Stuart Collection of site specific artworks (http://stuartcollection.ucsd.edu/). UCSD will host our business meeting and presentations (watch for a call for papers coming soon!). The main meeting day will be Friday with additional tours (optional) scheduled on Saturday. I hope to work in visits to the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library (http://www.ljathenaeum.org/) and to the Museum of Contemporary Art (http://www.mcasd.org/), as well as a walking tour in downtown La Jolla in order to view some Irving Gill buildings (http://www.sandiegohistory.org/online_resources/gill.html).

Expect further details (housing, registration, etc.) early next month.

If you are in the San Diego/La Jolla area and want to help with logistics, please contact Janine Henri at jhenri at library dot ucla dot edu.

Introduction to a New Getty Vocabulary
Jonathan Ward, Editor
The Getty Vocabularies are authoritative resources for indexing art,
architecture, and material culture. The presentation will discuss the
current editorial work and contributions of the Art & Architecture
Thesaurus (AAT), Union List of Artist Names (ULAN), and Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names (TGN), as well as the development of a new Getty vocabulary, the Cultural Objects Name Authority (CONA).

Sustaining Digital Legacies: What Does It Take?
Victoria McCargar
Even as digital technologies have provided us with astonishing avenues
for access, they are also setting up a preservation challenge that may
eventually dwarf projects and programs in the analog world. Fortunately, developments like OAIS (open archive information systems) PREMIS (preservation metadata) and TRAC (trusted repository audit and certification) can provide even small libraries and archives with valuable strategies for tackling the sustainability of their digital collections.

Forum, 1st floor of Ahmanson Building

Exhibition Tour with Curator Meg Linton
3 Solo Projects: Lynn Aldrich, Jessica Rath, Carrie Ungerman
Second in a series of exhibitions highlighting the work of Southern
California artists. Aldrich, Rath, and Ungerman have each created new
site-specific installations using common materials in quantity: dozens
of metal and plastic rain gutters, gallons of liquid latex, and
thousands of plastic water bottles to make tactile and poignant
experiences that are poetic metaphors of abundance, scarcity, and
growth.
