SPONSORSHIP

The division co-sponsored the following sessions at the 28^th annual conference in Pittsburgh:

• Creative Multiples: Artists’ Books as Teaching Tools
• From Collaboration to Consortia: Developing Partnerships

Sara MacDonald, The University of the Arts, located former moderator Martha Hall’s files. The archives now contain a list of past moderators and focal points. A list of session proposals sponsored by the division over the last ten years is included as well.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC INSTRUCTION

The division retired the binder containing bibliographic instruction materials, since the LOEX Clearinghouse for Library Instruction offers comparable, if not precisely the same, information.
