Pepperdine University has received a $1.3  
million gift along with the Dr. Leonard B. 
and Joan R. Starr Art Book and Music Col-
lection. The books and recordings from the 
collection will be preserved and displayed 
as part of the Starr Art Book and Music Col-
lection, while the monetary gift will form an 
endowment that will be used to fund a cura-
torial position for, and periodic additions to, 
the collection. The collection is organized 
with a catalog created by Starr that identi-
fies books containing specific works of art. 
Many of the books in the collection are lim-
ited edition publications, an additional ben-
efit to researchers. Cataloging the collection 
is expected to take much of the rest of 2017. 

Northwestern University and Indiana Uni-
versity have received a $967,000 Institute of 
Museum and Library Services (IMLS) grant 
that will allow each university library to 
enhance their jointly developed audiovisual 
repository system, further improving the 
ability of archival institutions to manage and 
make accessible large digital collections of 
video and audio. The National Leadership 
Grant, LG-70-17-0042-17, from IMLS focuses 
on the functionality and sustainability of the 
open source tool, Avalon Media System. Ava-
lon is designed to help institutions manage 
and deliver audio/video materials to faculty, 
students, and researchers.
