Hello ARLIS!


As mentioned in Amanda's previous message, the Artists' Books Thesaurus is ready for approval at the Book Art SIG meeting.  It can be reviewed at: http://tinyurl.com/abthes   A description and tutorial is available at: http://tinyurl.com/abthesabout


At the SIG meeting, we will: 

1)  Receive questions and comments about the Thesaurus

2)  (Ideally!) approve the Thesaurus ​project (next step: pursue publication with ARLIS/NA)

3)  Select an ongoing editorial team.  Three current members of the Working Group (myself, Allison Jai O'Dell, Esther Marie Jackson, and Josh Hockensmith) are interested in continuing on the project.  We are seeking two more collaborators.

4)  Outline next steps, including the submission process for images and additional concepts



Best,

Allison
