Would it make sense to have a 'roommate list' in the Members Only section
of the ARLIS/NA Web Site? Those seeking roommates could post queries there
and also see who else needs a roomie. The only disadvantage I can think of
is non-members who wanted to attend the conference wouldn't have access,
but they could still post to ARLIS-L.
Is there a reason this wouldn't work that I'm overlooking? Maybe it would
be extra work for the webmaster?
