News: Edward Lukasek Joins the Hirsch Library, MFA, Houston

Edward Lukasek joined the Hirsch Library, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, on February 20 as Catalog Librarian. Edward previously worked in the University of Houston Libraries Special Collections Department, and he also worked as a consultant who assisted in setting up a library for the Culinary Institute Alain & Marie LeNotre. He was eagerly welcomed by all the Hirsch Library staff, including his supervisor Margaret Ford, who will be sharing her expertise in the intricacies of museum library cataloging. Edward earned his Master of Library Science degree from the University of North Texas in December 2004.

Edward's varied experience will undoubtedly be an asset at our chapter meetings: rare books, special collections, plus several years as a professional wine buyer in San Francisco. (I expect the quality of our wine and cheese receptions to improve considerably!)
