LISTSERV 16.5 - ARLIS-L Archives

Hello all,
I was about to suggest the same thing -- a wiki, where we all could 
collaborate. I will bring this up at our next executive board meeting on 
Monday.

As a student new to ARLIS and still finding my way around, is there a
wiki space on the ARLIS site?  That might be a helpful place to create
this type of collaborative project, if so.

If not, perhaps it's an idea going forward.
