Hello ARLIS-L: This is a call for presenters at the 2011 Association for Architecture School Librarians (AASL) Conference! In 1987, Thomas Monaghan sponsored the Symposium on the Architecture Library of the Future. Those proceedings were later published in the monograph, The Architecture Library of the Future: Complexity and Contradiction, edited by Peggy Ann Kusnerz (University of Michigan Press, 1989). The fundamental question posed to contributors was, "what will be the form, content, services, and organization of the library that supports the 'number one' college of architecture in the year 2000." This panel seeks presenters to review and assess pronouncements made by our colleagues back then while developing projections of their own, looking towards 2050. Presenters will be asked to focus on one of the essays from the 1989 volume, all of which fall into the following categories: Education and the Architecture Library Information Resources in the Architecture Library Administrative Placement of the Architecture Library Role for Librarians Planning and Designing the Architecture Library Additional areas to fold into the discussion could include new demands and expectations from today's and tomorrow's researchers, the changing nature of architectural special collections, shifts in collection development, cooperative collection building, and trends in architectural library design. ARLIS members and friends are invited to submit abstracts by November 1, 2010. Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be sent directly to Hannah Bennett. The panel format will feature five speakers, each addressing his/her topic for a 20-minute period. Please indicate which essay from the Kusnerz publication your proposal is targeting and be sure to include contact information and professional or academic affiliation. Abstracts should define the subject and summarize the argument to be presented on the panel. The 2011 conference will be held in Montreal, Canada, in conjunction with the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture, from March 3rd through March 5th. Details about the AASL conference will be posted to the AASL website <http://www.architecturelibrarians.org/> .
