While it may be some work to coordinate - it would be well worth the effort.
I was involved in the planning of the Chicago conference in '92 and found it
rewarding/enjoyable. Also, the new Herron Art Library is scheduled to open
in 2003. It would be fun for people to see our new library. Should
Indianapolis be selected as a future site - I would be happy to be part of
the committee.

Subject: Future conference site?
----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Okay, since Indy has now been brought up by several of you. I would like
to be on record as saying that several years ago, I considered proposing
Indianapolis as an ARLIS/NA confence site but at that time the support
structure required for local hosting was rather problematic.
Given current headquarters support for conferences, I do think this is a
real possibility now.
I have contacted Ursula Kolmstetter, IMA Librarian, about Indy as a
future conference site option.
