Please save Friday October 7 and Saturday October 8, 2011 for our annual meeting in La Jolla, CA.
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.

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!
