The Standards Committee facilitates and coordinates the development of ARLIS/NA standards. Currently the major focus of the Committee is the Core Journals Project. This project will result in a list of core journals that we recommend all art libraries have in their collection. We anticipate releasing the first phase of the journals list in 2009. Other upcoming initiatives include: canvassing ARLIS/NA membership for standards which may need to be created or reviewed; setting up a system to review, and update as necessary, the Digital Database Standards for Art Images; review and update the Standards webpage; and preparing for the transition to a new committee chair in 2009.
Please contact me off-list if you are interested in learning more, or joining the committee.
The Committee meeting will be at the 1876 restaurant in the conference hotel on Sunday from 12:30-2.
