Dear Colleagues,
Put your thinking caps on! The extended deadline of Friday June 29 for Papers, Sessions, and Workshops Proposals for the ARLIS/NA 2013 Annual Conference Crafting Our Future is approaching.
The Toronto Conference Evaluation Survey respondents had the opportunity to answer an open-ended question about what art topics they would like to see covered at the Pasadena Conference. Here's what they said:
Art Topics (starting with most mentioned) Artist books / book arts Architecture Fashion/textiles/costume Photography Design: commercial / product / industrial / design studies Decorative art Interior design California Arts & Crafts and Modernism / Local architecture Contemporary art Craft and artisan issues / studio craft and design Graphic design / typography and cartooning
Are you a subject specialist in these areas? Have you recently provided outreach on these topics? Do you have bibliographic instruction tips and tricks you are teaching? Are you working on collaborative (aka "crafting") projects with other professionals (librarians, archivists, professors, art historians, etc.) in these areas? Are you starting up a digital project focusing on these topics? Please share with us what you've been working on... we know you are doing great work. Tell us!
Links to the online proposal forms are on the Conference website http://www.arlisna.org/pasadena2013/.
If you have questions please let us know. Happy "crafting"!
Sincerely,
Your Pasadena 2013 Program Co-Chairs
