Brown Bag Diversity Lunch: Dia de los Muertos
 On
November 2, the day otherwise known as "Dia de los Muertos" Sal Güereña,
Chair of the Library Cultural Diversity Committee, gave a slide talk on
the topic at a Library Brown Bag Diversity Lunch in the Mary Cheadle
Room. Drawing from CEMA's extensive slide collections, Sal's talk presented
a new angle on this traditional Mexican holiday. Attendees learned
about this cultural celebration through observations by Chicano visual
artists in urban California communities.
This was a reprise of a slide lecture Sal gave for the Santa Barbara
Trust for Historic Preservation in Downtown Santa Barbara.

 Eunice
Schroeder Completes Term as Book Review Editor
The following article comes from the
Music
Library Association:
With this issue Eunice Schroeder
leaves the Notes staff, having completed fourteen outstanding columns
as book reviews editor. In all there were 542 reviews of 579 books representing
thirteen countries. The titles Eunice selected for review over these years
have included important new works in traditional areas of study as well
as others on topics that perhaps served to broaden the perspective of our
readers. The refined quality that has permeated her columns derives not
only from the opinions and writings of the librarians and scholars she
has thoughtfully commissioned, but also from her own graceful prose style
and her careful editorial eye. The Notes staff will sorely miss
her reasoned responses to every stylistic dilemma. It would be impossible
to describe the endless hours Eunice has devoted to the production of each
quarterly column that we all await so eagerly. We fully concur with former
Notes
editor Richard Griscom, who worked with Eunice for two years, when he said,
"Her knowledge of the field was broad as well as deep, and her work was
always on time. I always found working with her a pleasure." We wish her
well in whatever new endeavors she chooses to undertake.

Music Library Association. vol.58 no. 2 (December 2001), p. 318.
