[MCN-L] VRA White Paper
Greetings MCN Members: In response to the current economic climate that has impacted the institutions where our visual resources facilities reside, the VRA Board has asked me to form an authoring group (see below) to produce a white paper that will not only address salient issues but also suggest options for dealing with the evolving visual resources landscape. This document will demonstrate that visual resources professionals and the facilities they manage actively contribute to an institution's mission and technological future by providing necessary expertise, assets, services and learning spaces. The VRA Board along with a cadre of reviewers from the visual resources community, affiliated organizations (ARLIS, CAA, MCN, etc.) and beyond will be enlisted to comment on the draft to ensure it is useful and will resonate with faculty, administrators and others outside the visual resources profession. As a first step, we are presently trying to think through ideal VRC scenarios in academic departments/schools, transferring operations to libraries, diversifying by adding IT and/or AV responsibilities, or adjusting roles in museum contexts. To help us with this work, we encourage image professionals who have been engaged in redefining their role and that of their facility to share their experience by contacting Elizabeth Schaub by June 10th, who will be focused on the case studies section of the paper; in addition, she may communicate the information you provide to the appropriate workers in the authoring group who may want to dialog with you. We are drafting this document over the next month in order to make the information available as soon as possible. If you need information sooner or have any suggestions, questions, or concerns about this white paper process, please contact Maureen Burns.

[MCN-L] Fwd: [ARLIS-L] Call for Papers: ARLIS/NA 38th Annual Conference (Boston, MA) - Deadline: June 22, 2009
Please excuse the cross-posting, but here is the call for papers for the ARLIS/N conference in Boston April 22-27, 2010. With the recent discussion about advanced degrees useful for museum technology, MCN members might find this conference to be particularly useful to better understand the lay of the land. Best regards, Maureen ARLIS/NA 38th Annual Conference - Call for Papers Revolution and Innovation: At the Hub of Discovery The ARLIS/NA 38th Annual Conference will explore revolution and innovation within art librarianship and visual resources librarianship as new technologies, economic changes and other factors transform our profession. Rapid change creates opportunities to embrace new ways of exploring the issues librarians face daily. How have you responded to the changes in the information landscape? What innovative methods have you developed to resolve the problems that have arisen from all these new developments? How have collaborations amongst colleagues, peers, institutions and more changed how you work? Individuals are invited to submit proposals for papers that provoke critical exchange and debate as well as practical advice and solutions in relation to the broad thematic areas referred to below. Submissions are encouraged that support opportunities for interaction between participants and enable the conference to engage in a truly interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and viewpoints. Individuals wishing to contribute paper abstract proposals for the ARLIS/NA 38th Annual Conference must submit a 250 word abstract for review by the Conference Program Committee. All abstracts must be submitted electronically using the online form available below. The abstract submission deadline is June 22, 2009. Abstracts received after the submission deadline will automatically be placed on the waiting list Abstract guidelines can be found in the online submission form. Incomplete abstracts will not be reviewed. Thematic Areas The following themes have been identified as the main interests of conference attendees from the conference evaluation and planning surveys. The themes are purposefully broad. The questions have been written to prompt and suggest possible platforms for discussion and debate. The Program Committee welcomes responses that extend and develop these themes in areas that will engage attendees in sharing different perspectives and provoke speculation about the future direction and development of art librarianship in the twenty first century. Future of Art and Visual Resources Librarianship * As academic institutions look to cut their budgets, will art/architecture/visual resources libraries become merged with main libraries? Is this an opportunity? * Digital libraries and repositories will begin taking advantage of full text searchability. Where do catalogers fit into this new view of access? * Considering today's tight budgets, how much metadata is enough when working with less support? * How do you increase your visibility on campus? What novel ways do you advocate for your library's services? * How have you developed grant proposals for projects in your library? What were the challenges and what surprised you? * How do you satisfy customers in an increasingly 24/7 instant access world? What do you do differently? * Going beyond statistics, how do you know that you are providing patrons with the services and resources that they want? What are some inventive and successful measures that your library has taken to determine patron satisfaction? * Do corporate or business customer service practices such as secret shoppers have a place in libraries? Have any libraries used any of these methods successfully? Collection Development * In light of the current economic climate, what strategies have you developed to provide quality resources for your community? * How do we provide access to information and ideas that are being created in technologies that have not been traditionally supported by libraries? How do we preserve that knowledge? * Is this an opportunity for collaborative collection development? Why or why not will collaborative collection development take root? * How do libraries balance fulfilling the patron's desire for digital content with the realities of the heavily print nature of art, architecture and design publishing? Emerging Technologies * How have you successfully created solutions using emerging technologies such as open source programs, mobile technologies, mashups and more? * Taking advantage of new technologies, what unique projects have you successfully collaborated on with your colleagues (library, IT, etc.)? Reference and Instruction * With reduced staffing, who should be answering questions at the reference desk? * What are some strategies being employed by libraries to provide reference and instruction to
[MCN-L] Fwd: [ARLIS-L] Call for Sessions for ARLIS/NA 2010 in Boston, MA
A follow-up clarification on the ARLIS call for Boston below. This should allow for even more flexibility if MCN members would like to participate. Best wishes, Maureen We are not doing a Call for Sessions for ARLIS/NA in Boston. We have instead sent out a separate Call for Papers and Call for Workshops. WHAT IS A CALL FOR PAPERS? The Call for Papers will be looking for individual proposals for papers on thematic areas. The call does not ask for a fully finished paper or even a published paper. It asks for a 250 word abstract about the topic you'd like to present. We are not accepting proposals for whole sessions. HOW CAN I MAKE MY SESSION IDEA INTO A PAPER? * Take one of the ideas you have for a speaker and submit an abstract about the topic. * Take one of your ideas and find someone who'd be interested in speaking on that topic and ask them to submit an abstract. * Take one of your ideas and ask on ARLIS-L if anyone is interested in submitting an abstract on that topic. * If you already had a session with different speakers in mind, contact those people and ask them to submit abstracts along similar topic lines. There's no rules against coordinating! But we also don't guarantee that you will be placed together! HOW WILL YOU ORGANIZE THE PAPERS? HOW WILL SESSIONS BE CREATED? The Program Committee and the CPAC will review the ideas for papers and group the papers into sessions. In the early fall, there will be a Call for Moderators. The moderators will work on the individual sessions, working with speakers to ensure that they will present in the time allotted, work with the conference planning committee to obtain appropriate AV equipment, etc. This will give members another opportunity to be involved with the conference. At that time, there will also be a Call for Poster Sessions, which will give us more flexibility to address some of the topics that arise after the sessions have been set, such as projects and other topics of interest. It also gives more time to the membership to think about the things they'd like to share with their colleagues. WHY ARE YOU MAKING THIS CHANGE? We've analyzed the data from the two surveys we sent to ARLIS-L about the conference, and we've noticed some trends that we've incorporated into our program planning. You indicated that you wanted high-quality sessions, and you've also indicated that you'd like to see changes in how sessions are structured and more variety in session lengths. More people would have liked opportunities to be involved in the sessions, but the process is not always clear at times. As a result, we're doing something different for this conference! I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS! If you have any questions, please contact the Program Co-Chairs, Jennifer Friedman (mailto:jrfried at mit.edujrfried at mit.edu) or Ann Whiteside (mailto:awhites at mit.eduawhites at mit.edu). __ Jennifer Friedman, Collections Manager and Public Services Librarian Rotch Library of Architecture and Planning Building 7-238, Massachusetts Institute of Technology 77 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139 Tel: (617) 258-5595Fax: (617) 253-9331 __ Mail submissions to arlis-l at lsv.uky.edu For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to listserv at lsv.uky.edu ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: jdyki at cranbrook.edu Maureen A.

[MCN-L] Fwd: MCN Liaison for ARLIS
Greetings MCNers, I've been trying to be a conduit of information between ARLIS and MCN for the last few years. As the ARLIS liaison to MCN, I forward information between the two listservs to share relevant postings related to annual meetings, activities, etc. looking for areas of overlap or commonality. Since I'm a member of both organizations and belong to both listserves, I'm happy to continue this work. However, since I have been doing this for a few years, if anyone else is interested in being the ARLIS liaison to MCN, I thought I would put this query out there. Please let me know if anyone might be interested and I will be happy to hook you up with the appropriate ARLIS Board members. Meanwhile, if you have any interesting ideas about how to better connect and communicate between ARLIS and MCN, they are welcome and I will continue to do this. Thank you.

Please forgive the cross-posting and feel free to forward to any potentially interested contributors. Thank you. Best regards, Maureen Journal for Learning through the Arts Special Issue on Arts Technology Call for Manuscripts The Journal for Learning through the Arts is a peer-reviewed, on-line journal published by the Center for Learning through the Arts at the University of California, Irvine. It provides a forum for discussing all aspects of learning that integrate the visual and performing arts within K-12, community, or higher education settings. Submissions are invited from university faculty, researchers, teaching artists, and school district personnel who have explored the link between learning and the arts through deliberate and disciplined integration of the arts (1) across arts disciplines, (2) with other academic content areas, and/or (3) into community-based educational programs. Articles discuss theory and practice, highlight current research, and review teaching and professional materials of interest to language arts educators. Examples may be viewed at: http://repositories.cdlib.org/clta/lta/vol1/iss1/http://repositories.cdlib.org/clta/lta/vol1/iss1/ The submission guidelines for the Journal for Learning through the Arts and the link to submit an article can be accessed at: http://repositories.cdlib.org/clta/lta/ Submission Deadline February 1, 2008 We're interested in how experience of the arts is mediated by technology. With an ever expanding array of technological tools--blogs, wikis, mashups, podcasts, virtual worlds, video games, etc.--how do arts educators keep up with their students and harness such popular developments for educational purposes? What art forms have come into being that would not be possible without technology? How do we train teaching artists to integrate technology and aesthetics? Can multimedia digital arts be considered a new discipline? With the explosion of digital arts resources, how do educators maximize their potential for enhancing student learning? What new opportunities has technology opened up for students to share their creative activities with others? In what ways do virtual communities create new venues for artists to interact with audiences? How has technology affected the museum and/or concert experience? What advantages (and drawbacks) are there to preserving live performance through audio and/or video recordings? Guest Editors: J.

A colleague asked me to forward this message below to MCN members in an open invitation to apply and participate in the annual VRA conference this Spring. Best regards, Maureen Dear VRA members, I am happy to announce the Travel Awards for the Silver Jubilee conference in Kansas City. This year we are announcing the 2007 awards earlier than usual, with an earlier deadline for submission. We hope that by doing this we can inform the recipients much sooner, who in turn can register and get in to workshops and other events that may fill up early. The new deadline for receipt of applications will be Tuesday, November 7, 2006. A preliminary conference schedule with a listing of most workshops and sessions will be posted on the VRA website late tomorrow (October 13). This information will be supplemented as things are confirmed, so please check back regularly: http://www.vraweb.org/conferences.html In addition, Rebecca Moss has provided the basic information for budgeting purposes: Dates: March 27 - April 1, 2007 Pre-registration costs: $175 for members, $325 for non-members Room rates (at conference hotel): $149 for single or double room We have very good news about the Travel Awards this year. There will be nine (9) awards of $750 available (6 Tansey Fund awards, 2 corporate awards from Gallery Systems and Archivision, plus the brand-new Kathe Albrecht award). In addition, there are two (2) corporate awards of $1,000 each for international members (from Davis Art Images and Saskia, Ltd.). We also have a new form of funding assistance to offer for 2007: Top-Up Awards. These are for applicants with some institutional support but who need to supplement it - the awards range from $250 to $500. A big thank-you goes out to all our Corporate Sponsors and to Kathe Albrecht for their support of this program! The application form this year will be available (very soon) in the MemberClicks section of the VRA website (thanks to Chris Hilker for putting together this easy to use form!). Before you apply, please read the document Tips for VRA Travel Awards Applicants, which will be linked at the top of the form as well as the main website (I will send the link when it's available). Two notes about eligibility: you must be a VRA member to apply, and you cannot have won a VRA Travel Award in the last three years (2004-2006) Stay tuned and watch VRA-L and the VRA website for further details about the conference and posting of related documents.
