After doing some research and attempted benchmarking of other library exhibition programs, I sadly realized that I had no good outlet for discussion and informal exchange of information. While exhibition fits within programming, and thus the ALA Public and Cultural Programs Advisory Committee (PCPAC) is useful, I was hoping for a more specialized group. ARLIS seems like a natural fit, but while renewing my membership (it lapsed after those lovely student rates expired), I realized there wasn’t a division, section, or even a Special Interest Group (SIG) that fit my needs. In the last decade I have had the pleasure of participating in many museum professional associations. Now that I am back in the library field, I would like to find like-minded colleagues that can share and learn from. Would anyone else be interested in participating in a SIG focused on Library Exhibition Programs? Alternatively, if you feel like this is a duplicative effort of a resource that already exists I ask that you please let me know what it is, so I too can participate! Many thanks, Kara West, MLIS Library Arts and Culture Exhibitions Manager San Diego Public Library 330 Park Blvd San Diego CA 92101 (619) 236-5881<tel:%28619%29%20236-5881> | [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> [cid:[log in to unmask]] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
