----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Janine Henri posted some thoughts on a possible session for the 1997 ARLIS Conference in San Antonio. One of her suggestions involves architec- tural recordkeeping and COPAR's role. Coincidentally, the possibility of ARLIS chapter involvement with COPAR'S efforts across the country is one that Tom Jacoby and I have been discussing informally for several months and which we decided would be a good possibility for a program session. Involvement by Janine and Beth Dodd would be welcome and their ideas on related ideas are interesting food for thought. I hope all Section members give this topic consideration before our Miami business meeting and come prepared to suggest even more ideas for fleshing out a proposal. We look forward to other proposals too - a few to toss around: a session on the architecture of the Southwest US and Mexico -could focus on the work of architects such as Predock, Bart Prince, Barragan, Legoretta, etc. What influenced them, who's following their lead? BI in academic architecture libraries seems to be in the news now - see JAE, 2/96 for Sheila Klos's on-target article. How are people using the Internet, WWW? Can we have people giving actual demos on how a class is taught using computers? Another thought - standardizing stats being collected for self-studies and the possible sharing of those studies. I know there are probably a lot of other topics percolating out there. Please come prepared to discuss any of the above or introduce your own. Suggestions for speakers, etc would be a real plus. Feel free to run anything by me in advance. Thank you, and see you all soon!
