One advantage of a student chapter is the opportunity to participate in activities on a university level. For instance, UT Austin has an excellent pool of art, architecture and VR folks right there that students could more easily connect with through chapter activities. Plus, there are always lots of university-wide activities that could potentially serve as venues to make connections and bring new blood into the art/architecture library profession. I believe student chapters would encourage participation in state and regional chapters rather than act as fractured subgroups. We could at least set up some guidelines for students interested in starting a group. Otherwise, state and regional chapters could start doing outreach to their area library schools - as Ray Anne has pointed out. As it stands, students have to have lots of initiative (strangely enough - most people are really shy about approaching ARLIS members), or already have a connection with art librarians in order to get involved. - Heather At 11:31 AM 1/16/02 -0500, you wrote: >I think it would be great and better if students participated in ARLIS/NA >regional chapters instead of forming another subgroup, further fracturing >the profession.
