Library Schools in Canada and the United States: Educational Opportunities for Careers in Fine Arts and Visual Resources Librarianship

Are there any ambitious ARLIS/NA members who would be interested in working to update this publication? The most recent addendum to the document was made in 1999, and we know that classes and specializations change with the addition or departure of faculty members. An updated version of this tool would provide wonderful guidance to our student colleagues.

ArLiSNAP readers seem like a natural choice for this project – if multiple people are interested they could always form a committee to draft a proposal for the publications committee. In the past it looks like this document was a joint effort between two or three people, so it might be best to have a committee chair for strategy as well as at least one other member to help implement the survey.


Cleveland Public Library: Fine Arts and Special Collections Blog

Here’s a great announcement for those of you interested in public librarianship and/or special collections. This message recently came across ARLIS-L:

The Cleveland Public Library recently launched its new Fine Arts and Special Collections blog — check out some of the great items posted !! http://cpl.org/finearts/

Their overall website design is very nice as well. This is an excellent example of integrated library catalog links on a blog, as well as a drop-down menu for directional questions!
