I ran these ideas by several Diversity Committee members and they were
supportive. :-)

Kathy and Judy:
How about a special issue of Arts Doc focusing on various aspects of
Diversity in ARLIS/NA as an organization and in the profession, addressing
ethnicity, gender and class?
Some topics/themes to explore:
How does class affect art librarianship and the types of art librarianship
members engage in?
Has the work and the profession changed over time?
How does one prepare to work in certain areas?
Who goes into the profession?
How many women are in the organization, in the profession? How many men?
What is the ethnic make up of the organization?
What is the percentage of lgbt persons in the organization?
Change dynamics in the organization: some want to maintain the organization
as is; others want to change it--who is right?
Organization dynamics & stages: various labels and identities exist for
ARLIS/NA as an organization: a multitude of social cliques, social and
affinity circles, "the I hate ARLIS crowd," the "these people are like
family" phenomenon. Organizational stage of the organization--where is
ARLIS/NA today as an organization?
Issues in mentoring and management in the profession: Who is mentoring art
librarians these days? How does one become an art manager or director?
Privilege in art librarianship: Are people privileged by gender, class or
ethnicity? Why or why not?
Writing from points of view from other 'minorities' in the organization?
i.e. Heterosexual males?

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Art Documentation: Call for Papers
/Art Documentation: / Call for Papers
Members of ARLIS/NA will be receiving the Spring 04 issue of /Art
Documentation/ as they return from our annual conference in New York.
In keeping with our policy of planning two issues ahead, at this point
/AD/ editors are seeking authors and articles for the Fall 04 and Spring
05 issues.
If you are presenting a paper at the conference that lends itself to
publication as well; if you have an idea for an article that you would
like to discuss; if you have an innovative project that you would like
to share with your colleagues; if you are passionate about issues
pertaining to the future of our profession, consider writing about it
for /Art Documentation/. Co-editors Judy Dyki and Kathy Zimon will be
in New York from April 14-20, and would love to hear from you. Although
scheduling may not permit us to attend every session, we try to attend
as many events as possible, and we are always available to meet with
potential authors during the conference, so please don't hesitate to get
in touch. We also encourage interested members to attend the /Art
Documentation /Editors meeting (following Publications Committee Meeting
on Saturday, April 17, 5:30-7 pm). Or contact us via e-mail at any time.
/Art Documentation /Contributor Guidelines are at:
