Irvine presented a pre-conference workshop entitled "They Never Covered This in Library School: Research Tools for Art" and was a speaker in the session on "Shaping Future Art Librarians: Mentorship, Management, and Professional Development." Erika Dowell received the Gerd Muehsam Award for her outstanding paper in art librarianship entitled "Interdisciplinarity and New Methodologies in Art History: A Citation Analysis". This award was granted during the ARLIS/NA Convocation at the University of Pennsylvania. Eileen Fry participated in the annual Visual Resources Association (VRA) conference (preceding ARLIS/NA) and in the ARLIS/NA conference. She was completing her terms as Chair of the ARLIS/NA Standards Committee and as a member of the VRA Nancy DeLaurier Writing Awards Committee. Her service on the VRA Data Standards Committee was another important aspect of her conference participation.

Jo Burgess has been awarded a $2,500 RUGS grant-in-aid for her research project involving the folk music of southern Illinois. The David S. McIntosh Collection of Southern Illinois Music in the Archives of Traditional Music and the Garry L. Harrison Collection of Southern Illinois Fiddle Tunes at Eastern Illinois University will provide the material for the book that Jo and her collaborator, Mr. Harrison, plan to publish. In addition to transcribing music from these collections, Jo and Mr. Harrison will travel the region, interviewing relatives of individuals recorded by Mr. McIntosh in the 1930s to 1950s and collecting any versions of the songs that still survive. They also plan to produce an accompanying CD recording.
