----------------------------Original message---------------------------- 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.

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.
