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…
