These
arguments focus on the print directory's ease of use as well as its
ability to be a tool for historical research. However, there are
several advantages to an online directory.
I
believe that both have specific benefits. Thus, I believe both should
be offered. I think there may be an opportunity for Print On Demand
(POD) services.
For example, http://www.lulu.com offers
softcover books with coil or perfect binding. For a 100 page, black
& white book bound either way, the production cost is $6.53. The
postage is then calculated by Lulu. The seller has the option to sell
at cost, and, when they do, Lulu's commission is waived. Finally, the
seller has the option to set up a free online store. The seller can
customize the store with their own banner image, etc.
I assume if only some people want the print edition, we will loose our volume printing discount with our current publisher. Using a POD service is one way we can offer our members the print directory at a reasonable price. Furthermore, the service will produce a far superior quality product than that of a printed PDF.

Talk about Déjà vu all over again!
The list was witness to a very lengthy discussion of this very same issue less than a year ago, so why is it now resurfacing?
Aren’t ARLIS-L messages Archived.
Can’t someone call up all those emails, so we all don’t have to go through this again?
And, YES, I thought we were going to get a paper Directory, if we wanted one.
By the way, I never received the Fall ’07 issue of Art Documentation (Vol. 26, No. 2), so if there is anyone out there who can send me that, I would be most grateful!?
Many thanks,
Jeffrey Weidman

I repeat my offer to pay extra for a paper copy ,if it can only be produced on demand as a a "limited edition" -- provided it isn't too bulky and unwieldy.!

And I second these opinions--also you can make notes in the paper version when
people shuffle off to new positions.

Quoting "Most, Gregory P.J." <[log in to unmask]>:
Will there be a Member's Handbook and Directory this year? I always
thought that was a benefit of membership in the Society? I still find it
faster to look up a name in print rather than the multiple steps one
needs to employ to use the online version.
