Greetings ARLIS Colleagues,

 

The Research and Information Services Section (RISS) would love for you to save the date(s) for our upcoming schedule of discussion forums. As discussed in our yearly business meeting, we will be meeting on a quarterly schedule. The moderators have selected the third Tuesday of the month, every 3 months, for this quarterly meeting. Based on ideas gathered at the annual business meeting, we have come up with topics for our first two meetings, listed below. We will be in touch in the near future to announce additional discussions.

 

The dates we have set aside for meetings this year are: 

 

• July 20, 2 -3 p.m. ET – Topic: Post-COVID Planning & Thinking
• October 19, 2 -3 p.m. ET—Topic: Outside the Canon: Sharing resources and tools for researching and learning about non-“Western” art
• January 18, 2 -3 p.m. ET—Topic: TBD
• April 19, 2 -3 p.m. ET—Topic: TBD

 

Our first meeting this year will occur on Tuesday,  July 20, from 2-3 p.m. ET. We will be discussing the post-COVID landscape for research and information services—what changes were made over the past year, what we will keep, what we will be happy to see end, and any other considerations you might bring to the discussion!

 

The Zoom information for our first meeting on July 20 is:
