----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I recently formed a new ARLIS/NA Task Force that will work with the National Architectural Accrediting Board to suggest a new "standard" for their current guideline which defines "collections". Janine Henri is co-chairing this with Kathy Brackney, from the Association of Architecture School Librarians. Lee's question goes further, and I think, as professional librarians, many of us create basic guides for our students, to ensure that they know the core resources in art or architecture. I believe these bibliographies are still available through LOEX. Beyond the guides that we create ourselves, we have published "guides to the literature" (e.g. Arntzen Rainwater) which provide a checklist of the most important resources in a specific discipline. Our disciplines are broad and interdisciplinary and somewhat different than the sciences, so creating "one" guide might be difficult! Kathryn Wayne University of California Berkeley
