EDITORIAL
As usual, this issiie is isuch later than originally planned. It always
seess that ther? ar? things which have to take precedence over the
preparation of the Newsletter.
I vish to thank: Linda Bien and Michelle Gautier, in particular, for
sending le materials for this issue. I also have been receiving
seve-^al Gallery Newsletters which peraits a broader coverage of
sateriol than I would have otherwise.
I was not able to attend the art session at CLA in Montreal which I had
originally planned on. I ai hoping that soaeone will send ae a report
about it for the next issue.
ARLI3/M/G/Q is holding its fleeting June 14 in Montreal which I had also
hoped to attend but found I was unable to do so. Daphne Dufresne,
Chief Librarian, Fine Arts ?f Music, Universite de Quebec a Montreal is
the chairperson of ARLIS/M/Q/3.
My present plan is to publish the third issue cf the CARLIj Newsletter
during the first two weeks cf Septeiiber. If the present trend
continues, it will probably be late but I as hoping that this will not
occur. If anyone is planning on sending le saterial I would appreciate
receiving it by the first week of Septeiber.
