SCoSAA Reads (Nov 5)

The Gardner Heist book coverThis semester’s book is?The Gardner Heist: The True Story of the World’s Largest Unsolved Art Theft?by Ulrich Boser. This is an incredibly quick read about a very local event (right next door!).?Kathy Wisser and our GSLIS resident theft-specialist (studying, not practicing), Brian Shetler, will both be on hand to talk to us about other major thefts related to the archives!

When: Monday, November 5, 2012, from 4:30-6PM
Where: School of Management Building, Room 101

While we highly recommend you take the opportunity to read this book, we realize that there is only so much time in a semester and have provided a few other outlets for you to familiarize yourself with the book’s topic so you can come and join us for snacks and a good conversation about the world’s largest unsolved art theft!
