Thea Burns, Harvard College Library’s

Janet Katz, senior reference librarian and 
coordinator of faculty services in the Harvard 
Law School, are the 2006 recipients of the 
Extended Professional Development Oppor­
tunity Program (EPDOP). EPDOP provides 
professional development leaves of one to 
three months (with full pay and benefi ts) for 
independent projects that increase profes­
sional competencies, while providing direct 
benefit to Harvard’s libraries. Burns will use 
her support with a three­month Craig Hugh 
Smith Visiting Fellowship at Harvard’s Villa I 
Tatti in Florence. Her work will focus on the 
invention of the Italian Renaissance metal­
point drawing. Katz will use hers to sup­
port her work in contributing a chapter to 
a book commemorating the opening of the 
Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race 
and Justice, for which Katz also curated an 
exhibition.
