Dear Colleagues, Now that the wonderful conference in Baltimore is a memory, I ask you to look forward to the New York 2004 ARLIS/NA conference which will be held at the Roosevelt Hotel from April 1 through April 6. In order to have another successful conference I need your help in developing the program. Please turn those wonderful ideas that you discussed in Baltimore into a program proposal for next year. If you weren't at the conference but would like to attend next year, you should also consider developing a proposal. We would also like to receive proposals from those of you who have good ideas but have never submitted before. Feel free to work with your colleagues to develop your ideas collaboratively. Although the New York Conference does not have an official theme, we are looking for proposals in the following areas: 1) New York as a diverse and international city and 2) issues based programming that will be of interest to a variety of groups in ARLIS/NA. The program committee for the NYC04 (Carole Ann Fabian, Ross Day, and myself) is prepared to help you through the process. Please let us know if we can be of assistance. Our contact information appears below. You may submit your proposals in a number of ways: electronically (http://www.arlisna.org/proposals.html), by mail to my attention at the address below, and by fax to my attention at (607) 255-1900. The submission deadline is May 5. The program committee (Carole Ann Fabian, Ross Day, and myself) are happy to help you think through your ideas. Please let us know if we can help. We look forward to working with you.
