Hello! There will be plenty of opportunities to tour other libraries at the upcoming ALRIS conference. The tour to Los Angeles County Museum of Art on March 30 will visit the libraries of LACMA including the Doris Stein Costume Research Center. Workshop 3 will be held at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising library/research center. Information follows: Is there a better place than LA to learn about resources on film? "They Never Covered This in Library School: Basic Resources in Costume, Art Direction, Film, and Artists' Videos" is the ideal workshop for inquiring minds. The workshop will cover both print and electronic resources needed to research films, and video collections. The development of both the feature film industry and the new Time Art will be described, the strengths and weaknesses of specific tools discussed, and collection development strategies laid out. Preservation, storage, and space planning issues for these media will also be addressed. The workshop is being held at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising Resource and Research Center. See the details at: http://arlis2001.ucsd.edu/schedule/workshops/3.html For more on 2001: An LA Odyssey check out the website: http://arlis2001.ucsd.edu/ Registration for the conference must be postmarked no later than February 15, 2001 to receive the preregistration discount. See you there! Miranda Haddock Western Michigan University >>> [log in to unmask] 02/07/01 02:17PM >>> Heather et al, I really like the idea of touring a library, then ending up with a discussion! This idea could also be adapted for/adopted by museum librarians, academic librarians, architecture librarians, design school librarians, special collection librarians, etc.! Best, Janine Henri >In reply to Jeffrey's requests for ideas: > I can understand the challenges of finding times & space for all >the meetings. (It seems to me that the PL Division is hardly what one >would call a "splinter group". Our attendendance and participation might >be small, but I think that has to do with the financial situation at >many PLs.) The trouble with having our discussion in a restaurant/bar >setting is, for me, an element of distraction. At its best, a >discussion group becomes a creative dialogue, sparking ideas. For me, >that means an environment conducive to attentive listening. I was a >first-time attendee to an ARLIS conference last year, and found that >time to be perhaps the MOST rewarding aspect of the conference. The >other offerings were wonderful too, but the PL sessions gave me a sense >of what others are doing, challenges we share, and possible >solutions/approaches. It motivated me to attend this year, which, thanks >to new management at our library, I'll be able to do! With the tours of >the 4 PLs in LA, I have no doubt we'll have a good chance to "chaw". > How's this for an idea: future PL business meeting and discussions >can be scheduled at a public library meeting area in the host city. >Perhaps the host city PL can offer a 1/2 hour tour to the PL division >members before or after the meetings. Maybe a box lunch could be >included for a fee. > As for Jeffrey's continuing to serve us? Wonderful idea! I'm so >grateful he is willing to accept the responsibility and thank him for >his past service as well. > >Heather Brodhead, Librarian >Music & Art Department >Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh >4400 Forbes Avenue >Pittsburgh, PA 15213 >Tel 412\622-3105 Fax 412\622-3412 >email [log in to unmask] > >----- Original Message ----- >From: [log in to unmask] >Date: Monday, February 5, 2001 9:37 am >Subject: Public LIbrary Division members > >> Greetings PLD Colleagues, >> >> The conference in Los Angeles will be upon us sooner than we >> all think >> (I m looking forward to that jet lag and waking up at 4 a.m.!) so >> I wanted to >> send an early message to all of you about some things we must all >> think about >> in the meantime. >> The Executive Board is concerned with the proliferation of >> splinter >> discussion groups that are all demanding rooms at conferences. >> This has >> become an organizational nightmare trying to find space and time >> for these >> groups in the few days of the conference.
