Greetings! The ARLIS/NA SCIP SIG will meet in Washington D.C. on Friday, May 2, from 2:00 to 3:00pm in the Roosevelt room in the Grand Hyatt.

We also hope you will enjoy some of the activities SCIP members are involved with at the conference including the lightning talk *Of, By, For the Artist: The Library as Venue for Student Creativity <http://arlisna2014.sched.org/event/bf47acbde9e7f513a14629f433d5e56f> *happening Sunday, May 4 at 9:15am in Farragut Square and the poster session *Mapping the Boston Built Environment: History Pin in the Classroom <http://arlisna2014.sched.org/event/c13a4a48cdb975f5368d1f305634d080> *happening Saturday, May 3 at 2:30pm in the Independence Foyer. Best, Annette Haines SCIP coordinator * SCIP (Stimulating Creativity in Practice) SIG Members of the SCIP SIG will explore how creativity applies to the work of art information professionals and how creative engagement can move the Library beyond its traditional roles. The group will act as an ongoing support community for personal creative practice by exploring ways to make time in our workday for nurturing creativity, examining how personal artistic practices enhance our work as information professionals, and learning effective ways to foster creativity in others. The group will also explore the idea of the library as an incubator of creative discovery by looking at ways to incorporate creatively charged workshops, exhibitions and events into library spaces giving library users opportunities for research and a means to practice hands-on engagement with ideas and knowledge. Members of the SCIP SIG may also plan events such as ARLIS/NA-member art exhibits, workshops (possibly tapping local creative talent) and conference sessions. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
