Dear ARLIS/NA members,
At Baltimore conference I proposed that we hold a panel on destruction
and/or reconstruction of libraries/cultural heritage during the times of
war and terrorist attacks. I wanted to propose a session to be sponsored by
the International Relations Committee, but the IRC has two session proposals
already in the works and suggested that I organize the session on my own as
committee sponsorship is no longer a requirement. If you would like to
participate in this panel or have any suggestions or ideas please contact me
at your earliest convenience. All proposals for the 2004 conference in New
York are due by May 5th.
-Is there anyone who would like to talk about the New York collections
affected by the 9/11?
-Do you have any further ideas about what countries we could include in a such
a panel discussion (e.g., give more specific ideas about the destruction
and/or conservation efforts). I studied the destruction of libraries and
cultural heritage in Croatia during the recent war and could give a talk on
Croatia. Is anyone else interested in covering any other country or
countries?
-Do you know anyone who would make a great panelist, and is a dynamic,
energetic speaker who has a lot to say on this subject?
-Are you willing to be a panelist yourself?
I am suggesting that this proposal would be listed under the category of:
E. Contemporary Issues: This category is concerned with recent and developing
issues of interest to art librarians, visual resources curators, and their
clientele. The session format could be any of the following:
#2 Plenary. Open Session; 120 minutes: presentations with a comment and
discussion period on a topic of interest to the entire ARLIS/NA membership.
or
#3 Panel Discussion. Open Session; 90-minutes: a panel of 3-4 individuals
and 1 moderator. Panelists will discuss a variety of ideas, perspectives, or
approaches about the given topic. A moderated comment and discussion period
will follow the discussion.
Thank you in advance for any input and your consideration to participate in
this panel.
Sincerely,
Nensi Brailo
