On a recent post I mentioned The Sketchbook Project, a project created by the Brooklyn Art Library, New York, where anyone can sign up, create a sketchbook and have it tour throughout the USA. Amazingly, the Brooklyn Art Library decided to visit Australia and show off the thousands of sketchbooks from Australian and New Zealand artists. The Victorian College of the Arts hosted the occasion and it was interesting to see just how the public is able to access the books.

The two young American Librarians, who were so friendly and helpful, but were handicapped by a computer system that habitually stopped working.
