Announcement and call for papers.
In the lead up to the Centenary of Federation of Australia it is appropriate
that the annual ARLIS/ANZ Conference for the year 2000 should be held in
Canberra. This will give delegates the opportunity to combine the formal
programme with visits to Australia's national collections and discussion of
the increasing range of co-operative services available to art librarians
both in Australia and New Zealand.
The theme for the Conference is: Securing our heritage
The suggested sub-themes, which are designed to emphasise the experience of
visiting the collections available in Canberra are:
* Indigenous art resources in art libraries

* Collection/storage/ access re sensitive materials
* Resources for studying Aboriginal art incl. On-line resources [AIATSIS]
* Resources for studying Maori art
* Copyright and indigenous artists in Australia and New Zealand
* Security in art libraries [Workshop session with guest speaker, 5/10
minute short presentations and interactive group discussions]
* Interior design
* Passive security
* Handling of valuable/delicate materials
* Handling of sensitive materials; also ties in with indigenous art theme
* Conservation of valuable /delicate materials

special materials but with emphasis on PA

NLA/Screensound "Keep dancing" project.
In addition a programme of tours to national and local collections and their
