The+Grove+Dictionaries+of+Art

This is a wonderful story. At the Weed and Feed party, Lee Sorenson lamented that the school didn't have the funds to subscribe to the Grove Dictionaries of Art online system. We all nodded our heads and wished there were a way to do it but there are no funds for those types of things. Last February this happened:

Dear colleagues: The Frick Collection is ready to give away a copy of The Dictionary of Art (Grove’s Dictionaries, 1996; 34 vols.). We request postage reimbursement. If interested in this offer, please contact Nicholas Wise, Curatorial Assistant, The Frick Collection

Look what just came over the Art Libraries listserve!! I called immediately and they are holding the set for us. Shipping will be expensive, maybe one side or another of $100. Can the school district (or Duke) cover postage to get this whole set? I’m sure we can work this out. They just need to know where to send it and how we will get the cost to them. Can you confirm all of this with Durham School of the Arts? My thanks to everyone who’s helped on this.

Teresa, do you want this? If so, I will see if I can pay the postage to get it.
