Staff of the Information Institute has confirmed the rumor: the Getty Information Institute is being dismantled, but the good news is that the vocabulary programs are not in immediate jeopardy. Projects will be reassigned to other areas of the Trust. I have been assured that official word will follow shortly with more details.In any case change will be inevitable. I think it is not an exaggeration for me to say that we have been well served by the Getty for many years. I can only hope this tradition will continue and that the projects started under AHIP will be supported and even enhanced under their new structure. Our support may still be useful. Unless they hear it from us, administrators who are making decisions in redistributing the work of the Information Institute may not know just know how important these resources are to our communities.

P.S. I am told the list of trustees included in my earlier message (found at the Getty site) is not the most current one…
