AASL 2002
NEW ORLEANS!
Call for papers for the
24th Annual Meeting of the
Association of Architecture School Librarians
In conjunction with the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture,
the AASL will hold it's 24th annual
meeting in the "Crescent City", April 11-14, 2002.
This is a solicitation for papers, presentations, panel discussions, or
workshops. Below is a list of topics suggested by colleagues in their
conference evaluations from the 2001 meeting in Baltimore. I have left them
anonymous for purposes of privacy, but I hope those who authored them will
feel free to claim them and/or gather support for developing them into
presentations.
If you are interested in these or other topics, please send your proposals
or ideas to me personally, or post them to the AASL-L listserv at
[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> .
Suggestions from the evaluations and post-conference correspondence:
1) Different library management models and forms of planning.
2) NAAB (suggestions from two people)
a Real life NAAB accreditation stories.
b Collected NAAB reports (probably made anonymously) and posted
on the web site**.
c Collected stats from our libraries (so we don't have to pay
NAAB $100 per disk for our re-packaged data.)
d List of when our peers are coming up for accreditation.
3) Examples of library involvement in studio and/or technology class
assignments.
4) Collection development.
5) Architectural archives.
6) Architectural publishing.
7) Collected "industry" stats (e.g., # new arch. titles published in last
year, avg. subscription prices for arch journals, etc.) to share with each
other.
8) Disaster planning.
9) Security measures.
10) History of Architectural Education.
11) Digital projects.
12) Joint scanning projects of public domain architecture titles
("ArchiTexts") from our libraries to make accessible to all our patrons.
Issues could include prioritizing titles, sharing labor, and technical
requirements and options.
13) Various ways in which visual resources collections are integrated
into Arch/Art/Planning collections.
If you already have a well developed topic for a presentation or panel
discussion, please send me such details as:
1) Speaker's name and contact information.
2) Title, with short abstract if possible.
3) Anticipated equipment needs.
With your help, I'm looking forward to some lively, thought-provoking
discussions and wonderful food and music in the great city of New Orleans.
