Greetings from ARTstor!

We wanted to let you know that there will be an ARTstor Hospitality Suite at the upcoming Visual Resources Association conference in Florida. All participants and non-participants are invited to visit us in the Wyndham Miami Beach Resort at 4833 Collins Avenue. You will find us in the suite on Monday the 7th from 10-5, Tuesday the 8th from 10-5 and Wednesday the 9th from 10-4. There will be signs in the lobby and flyers at the concierge desk with the suite number. Representatives from our User Services and Library Relations team will be in the suite so there will be ample opportunities for training and learning more about ARTstor. We encourage you to schedule an appointment for training in advance.

There will also be a Participants Breakfast on Tuesday, March 8th from 7-8:30am in the Madrid Room at the Wyndham Miami Beach Resort. This meeting is open to all ARTstor participants and we hope that you will be able to join us. You are welcome to drop in but if possible, we ask that you RSVP to userservices@artstor.org in advance. The agenda for the meeting is as follows:

Introduction and Welcome: James Shulman, Executive Director
Participation Update: Barbara Rockenbach, Assistant Director for Library Relations

Finally, there will be an ARTstor Users Group Meeting on Tuesday, March 8th from 12:30-2. This meeting is being coordinated by Elisa Lanzi from Smith College (elanzi@email.smith.edu) and Tina Updike of James Madison University (updikecb@jmu.edu) and is open to anyone interested in ARTstor.
