At this time, there are four members: Hamon Fine Arts Library at Southern Methodist University, Mildred M. Kelly Library of the Art Institute of Dallas, Fine Arts Division of the Dallas Public Library and the Mayer Library of the Dallas Museum of Art. The Consortium's <a href="http://www.smu.edu/cul/dalc/index.htm">Web site</a> describes each member's collection and what patrons it serves and how. There are no elected officers, no dues and no set meeting times. </p> Special Projects Sun, 16 Apr 2006 17:09:04 -0400 http://www.arlis-txmx.org/node/19 <p><span class="cap">T</span>he Artist Files Working Group has actively been working over the past year to put together a site that will provide a centralized resource for locating institutions with artist files. As part of this endeavor, we intend to create a directory that provides summary statements of institutional holdings from across North America. This directory will go live in the fall of 2006 and will allow the institutions to supply relevant documentation about their holdings of artist files. Further, we intend to provide documentation for loading minimal level cataloging records into the major union catalogs to enhance access to individual records.</p> Special Projects Sun, 16 Apr 2006 16:10:51 -0400
