----------------------------Original message---------------------------- To: ARLIS/NA colleagues First, thanks to Peter and Ray Anne for their inspiring calls to action regarding CAA participation! This is indeed the forum where art librarians and art/art history practitioners, as well as museum professionals, can exchange ideas. I am starting to receive 2001 session suggestions--and I hope there will be calls for participation to the ARLIS list posted soon. Remember that we have only a very short time left to pull together a session for next February. However, while this topic is current, we can also open discussion of possibilities for the 2002 CAA Conference. That session will be held February 20-24, 2002, in Philadelphia--the city we learned to love at our recent ARLIS/NA conference. There are two kinds of session possibilities for 2002-- For the regular 2-l/2 hour "juried" sessions, September 15 OF THIS YEAR is the deadline for proposals to the CAA conference committee. (Ray Anne, do I understand correctly that this is the length session your co-sponsored GLIRT/Queer Caucus proposal will be for?) Our affiliated society special session (1-1/2 time slot) is the other option. We have until next summer to request that. Those interested should keep in mind that membership in both CAA and ARLIS/NA is mandatory for participation. CAA membership runs on a calendar year basis (1/1-12/31), with enrollment for any given year accepted until June 30 of that year. Individual dues, based on income, are $70/$90/$100 per year. The College Art Association website has full information: http://www.collegeart.org There are other guidelines for speakers (e.g., one cannot participate in the same capacity two years in a row). See http://www.collegeart.org/caa/conference/2001/call3.html for specifics. If you have questions, feel free to contact me. If you have ideas, let's discuss them on list.
