Accomplishments:
Spring Meeting, May 14, 2004, McHenry Library, University of California, Santa Cruz. Featured presentation: "Managing a Digitization Project" by Trudy Levy and Howard Brainen. (Abbreviated version of workshop Ms. Levy and Mr. Brainen gave at the 2004 VRA Conference in Houston.) The special fee for the presentation is to go to establishing a Chapter travel award to assist VRA NorCal members to attend the VRA annual conference. The Chapter would like to raise at least $300 for this award. A request to VRA National for additional funds for this award was turned down.
Two new committees formed: Funding Committee (Trudy Levy, Image integration, and Karen Kessel, Sonoma State University); Travel Award Committee (to be selected at the Fall meeting). The afternoon concluded with tours of the Visual Resources Collection and the UCSC Library Special Collections.
