Thanks and kudos to Yolanda Cooper-Birdine, Mary Popp, Gwen Pershing, and CAROLYN SHERAYKO for providing the recent in-house web classes.

Those who learned from them and those of us who relied upon them all send appreciation.
3. STAFF NEWS
Mary Strow, Undergraduate Library Services, participated in a symposium, "A Decade of Dance Preservation," held May 1 and 2 at the Joyce Theatre Soho in New York City. Funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, the symposium examined issues of documentation and preservation in the field of dance, and celebrated 10 years of archival initiatives to safeguard the legacy of dance.
