The ALA/SAA/AAM joint Committee on Archives, Libraries, and Museums (CALM) is organizing a panel for *2017 ALA Annual Conference* taking place J*une 22-27, 2017** in Chicago, IL* about *inclusivity *and are interested in finding people from across libraries, archives, and museums that can talk about how well we are doing or not doing on the various fronts of employment, continuing education, collection development, descriptive practices, etc. We are very interested in presenting a myriad of vantage points and would like to get insider /outsider (i.e. new to the field to mid-career to "powers that be" and all in-between) perspectives together to discuss what is going well and what can and should be done better in order for LAMs to become more inclusive environments. To that end we would love to have 6 people, 2 from each sector and then within those 2, having 1 administrator and 1 newish to the field. We have created a very, very short survey and ask anyone potentially interested in being on this panel to please take a moment (cause it will only take a moment, I promise) and fill it out: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/K6V29VH *We have received a great response from those who affiliate with archives but are sadly lacking in response from those who identify with museums!!! If you are planning on attending ALA or if you know you would be able to go if you were on a panel please consider this opportunity!* Thank you! Please let me know if you have any questions. Sincerely, Elizabeth Call Chair of ALA CALM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/membership/join-arlisna 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] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
