Welcome to new and returning academic librarians. Introduction of current officers . Rebecca Price, moderator . Ann Shincovich, vice-moderator . K.C. Elhard, Update column editor Election of new officers Those interested, please email ([log in to unmask]) or speak with me before the meeting. Reports: Professional Development Committee mentor program update: Report from Rebecca about their efforts. Discuss possibility of coordinating a mentor initiative with the Prof. Dev. Comm. Last year members expressed interest in this – ideas ranged from mentoring at entry and mid-career, library school student mentoring, career-change mentoring. If you have interest in this or have strategies that have worked at your school, please speak up at the meeting. Near the end of this meeting we will break out into interest groups. If you’re interested or have ideas, please meet together at the end. Outreach initiative Ann, our incoming moderator, would like to work with members to identify ways in which we can reach out to the library community, the academic community, and other communities (K-12?) with our particular skills and knowledge. How can we help to instill "best practices" in young database/image users? ARTstor revisited and other current databases Last year ARTstor become the major topic of discussion at our meeting – particularly it’s cost. Where are we now? What are the major issues in accessing and/or using ARTstor? Other digital resources? What’s your favorite database and why? Online content and meeting students’ expectations As academic librarians we are at the forefront of the online content debate. Students (and some faculty) expect “everything” to be online. Imagining an online world – how does our job change in this transitional world (half in print and half online)? Where’s the value in each world and what value do we bring? Session ideas for the Banff Conference Springing from above discussion topics or new ideas? What's new in your academic library? _______________________________________ As you're planning your days in Houston, note sessions of particular interest to the Academic Librarian community: Session 3: Providing Visual Information in the New "Smart" University: The Cross-Campus Development of Digital Image Libraries (Grand Ballroom K: Sunday 10-11:30) Session 6: This Isn't a Ranch So Why Do We Need a Brand?: Public Relations and Marketing (Room 339 AB: Sunday 1:30-3) Session 7: De-Googleing Today's Students: Successful Models Of Art Library Instruction (Grand Ballroom K: Sunday 1:30-3) Session 20: Academic Libraries, Visual Collections, and Campus Museum Border Crossings (Grand Ballroom J: Tuesday 11:30-1) Session 21: Educating the Educators: Teaching with Digital Technology (Grand Ballroom J: Tuesday 1:30-3) Session 22: Working with the Best of Them: Evolving Vendor-Art Library Relations (Room 339 AB: Tuesday 1:30-3) Session 23: Remote Control: Library Services and Collections for Offsite Programs (Room 340 AB: Tuesday 1:30-3) __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org//membership.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Kerri Scannell) at: [log in to unmask]
