Welcome to the third issue of volume 33 of The Medium. This issue is packed with summaries of tours from our annual chapter meeting in Dallas--who knew that such familiar territory could take on a new visage with all the varied venues and events to which we were treated? Our collective gratitude again goes to Gwen Dixie, who arranged every aspect with such effortless command (and even hosted us for dinner at her house!). We also have an excellent summary of our Dallas panel session, Collecting Early Texas Art, from our chapter president. In addition to items related to our annual meeting, this issue also features some announcements and summaries of events throughout the state, such as the Texas Digital Library meeting in Austin and the upcoming AASL conference in Houston. You'll also find a collection profile (thanks Elizabeth!) and a report from our ARLIS/NA South Regional Representative (thanks again, Elizabeth!). I also want to call attention and appreciation to Catherine Essinger, who has agreed to take over the Architecture Libraries News column from Janine Henri, who has left us for dreary Los Angeles (we miss you already, Janine). Catherine's contact information is on the Colophon page of this issue. Enjoy!
