Hi all, I'm reaching out to those who are members of the Artists Files SIG to achieve a couple of goals: * To encourage proposals for AFS-sponsored programming for New York 2018. Honestly, I'm not hopeful that we have the wherewithal to develop either a presentation, session, or workshop. That said, I'm really keen on the poster session format, and maybe we could present something really compelling and "out of bounds" appropriate for that style of presentation. Maybe an innovative approach for managing email-based digital ephemera -- a topic of keen interest to me. Shoot me your ideas. I have copied the call for proposals document below this message. Due date is May 1 for regular programs and later for poster sessions. * Almost as important, I would like to hear from all of you in the Society who share my love of artist files so that I can begin to corral an invested group of folk to help the Artist Files SIG focus our purpose and help us develop an agenda of projects and goals for the coming two years of my time as co-coordinator of the group. Please shoot me a private email to let me know that you are interested. * Be sure to check into the Artists Files SIG Blog, http://artistfiles.arlisna.org/, for updated information. I'll soon be posting new information, including an archive of annual conference minutes so that everyone can see what our group has been up to over the years.

The New York Conference Program Committee encourages fellow librarians, archivists, curators, museum professionals, educators, artists, designers, architects, and scholars to propose sessions that expand the boundaries of art librarianship. We particularly encourage speakers who borrow ideas from outside the library profession to solve problems, spark new initiatives, or broaden audiences for library activities. Types of Proposals Presentation: A single submission of an individual presentation, potentially addressing new research, a case study, or other innovative idea. Presentations should focus on engagement with a live audience, bring new information to attendees, and provide attendees with new tools, strategies, skills, or inspiration. The Conference Program Co-Chairs and the Conference Program Committee will group selected presentations into sessions that run from 60 to 90 minutes. Session: A 60- to 90-minute event with speakers addressing a common topic or theme. A session could involve 2-4 presentations with a moderator, multiple lightning talks, a panel discussion, or another format that engages the audience with speakers and with each other. In your session proposal, describe your ideal session format, secure commitments from and include the names of proposed speakers. Suggesting a moderator is optional, but recommended. Workshop: An opportunity to teach and explore current and emerging topics in an intimate atmosphere. Workshops encourage a focused, hands-on experience led by experts who combine active learning, collaboration, and discussions. They may last two, four, or eight hours. Consider ways to benefit from local educational or cultural institutions in the New York metropolitan area. How to Submit Proposals Presentations, sessions, and workshops will be selected by the program committee via a blind peer review process. Submit your individual presentation, session, and workshop proposals via our online<http://www.arlisna.org/newyork2018/submissions/author/submit.php>submission form<https://www.arlisna.org/newyork2018/submissions/openconf.php><http://www.arlisna.org/newyork2018/submissions/author/submit.php>.
