I have heard from quite a few people that they are interested in an ARLIS/NA Graphic Novels Special Interest Group (SIG). I recently started a graphic novel collection at our library with the
help of several efficient colleagues. It is very popular. There is also a Graphic Novels class taught in the School of Art & Design here at Texas State University – San Marcos.
This group would be to discuss any issues related to small specialty collections like this. Please let me know, if you haven’t already, if you would be interested in joining this group.
Thanks!

Subject: [ARLIS-L] possible graphic novels special interest group?
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone would want to create a special interest group about graphic novels and graphic novel collections? We could focus on issues such as collection development, circulation,
statistics for support, and any other issues that come up with this type of collection or similar collections.
Thanks!
Tara
