Hello ARLIS librarians! Do you have collection development, instructional, and/or departmental liaison responsibilities in the areas of costume, textiles, fashion design, or fashion merchandising? If so, we want to hear from you! Sandra Ley, of Pima Community College, and I are putting together a 4-hour workshop for ARLIS/NA's Annual Conference in March: "Postcards from the Edge: Fashion & Textiles.” It’s designed to help traditional art librarians develop the subject expertise needed to serve patrons interested in fashion- and textile-related fields. For this workshop, we will be compiling a list of (free) world wide web resources (websites, blogs, etc.) useful to fashion and textiles librarians, students and faculty. If you have professional responsibilities in these areas and would welcome the opportunity to network with other fashion librarians, please respond. If you know another fashion or textiles librarian who is not on ARLIS-L, please forward. If you already have some expertise in these areas, we would love to know what websites, blogs and other online resources you consult and recommend. We will gladly compile the results and create a web page of WWW fashion & textile resources, to be shared after the conference ends. Please reply off-list. Thanks for your help!
