Saturday, March 26th, 2011

If you weren’t able to go to Minneapolis for this year’s joint ARLIS/NA VRA Conference, you still have a chance to keep up on everything that is happening at the conference.  Greg Borman is writing a series of blog posts on ArLiSNAP’s blog summarizing his experience at the conference.  These posts are a great way to see what’s happening in the world of art and visual resource librarianship from the comfort of your own home.
