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 will be celebrating our online exhibition (coming soon!), discussing ways to communicate with one another over the course of the year and brainstorming session ideas for next year. We hope to see you there.

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 happening Sunday, May 4 at 9:15am in Farragut Square and the poster session Mapping the Boston Built Environment: History Pin in the Classroom 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.
