Dear Colleagues,

The Ohio Valley Chapter of the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA OV) is pleased to announce that the Fall Business meeting will be held in-person on November 3-4, 2022 in Toledo, OH. 

Registration will be $35/person and includes continental breakfast and a boxed lunch on November 4th. We have an exciting agenda planned, including a tour of Collingwood Arts Center on Thursday evening, and tours of the Toledo Museum of Art Reference Library–located inside of the University of Toledo’s Center for the Visual Arts–and Toledo Museum of Art galleries on Friday. 

Please register by Friday, October 28 here.

Additionally, we are now accepting proposals for lightning talks to take place on November 4.  Lightning talks should be no longer than 10 minutes and may cover a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to: 

• General updates from your library, successes (and/or challenges) from the past year

• Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility efforts and projects undertaken at your library

• Collection development projects

• Artists’ books, special collections, and archives

You do not need to be an ARLIS/NA OV member in order to submit.

If you would like to submit a lightning talk but are unable to make the in-person meeting, please reach out to Meg Milewski ([log in to unmask]) or Courtney Hunt ([log in to unmask]) to discuss alternative ways you might share with your colleagues. 

Deadline for Proposals: October 14
