Greetings Colleagues!

A letter is going out this week to Division members who do not
subscribe to ARLIS-L (what a job determining who those people
are).  116 of us, I believe.

I indicated to them the issues that the executive board has asked
moderators to pursue this year, asked for volunteers to serve as
officers, gave them a summary of San Antonio proposal ideas
received and enclosed a questionnaire concerned with communication.

The summary of proposals is:

1. Cooperative ventures/consortia
2. Libraries and distance learning
3. Pre-conference workshop on basic art library reference sources
4. Art Librarians as curators
5. Art histories and the art librarian as historiographer
6. Keeping academic standards in the digital universe
7. Why the book is still an important medium in addition to cd-rom,
   websites, etc.
8. Joint sponsorship with GLIRT of a panel on acces to information
   on lesbian and gay artists and art history

Does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of proposals
which can come from any Division?

The questionnaire concerned issues of electronic access and
communication.  I'd like the ARLIS-L members to answer the
communication portion since the other asks about e-mail access,
ARLIS-L, etc.  It's very brief but would be helpful to the Board
and succeeding Division moderators.

Check all that apply.

___________ARLIS/NA should communicate all issues in the UPDATE

___________UPDATE should be issued more often

___________The Division should communicate issues through the
           UPDATE

___________If a Division member has e-mail he/she should be
           encouraged to subscribe to ARLIS-L to facilitate
           communication

___________The Division Moderator should communicate
___________a. by letter
___________b. by e-mail

___________Regional Chapters should get more involved in
           communication for ARLIS/NA

Any comments about communication issues?

I'd appreciate your timely response.

For those of you attending the conference in Miami, we will need
to discuss our commitment as revealed in the Strategic Plan
update.  You should have received a copy in the March issue of
UPDATE.  Should we finish with business early here's a couple of
possible group discussion topics.

---art collection development issues (books, cd-roms, ephemera)
---bibliographic instruction (sharing handouts?)

I look forward to the conference and to seeing those of you who
are able to attend.  Our business meeting is Sunday from 11-12:30.

Thank you and all the best.

Susan Beelick, Academic Division Moderator
