ARLIS/NA Reassessment Findings Blog
Posted: March 19, 2007 Filed under: Blogs Comments OffYour voice counts!
Members of ARLIS/NA, please take a moment to review part or all of the ARLIS/NA Assessment Task Force findings (located in the members area of ARLIS/NA’s Web site).
ARLIS/NA would like to know what you think about the task force’s recommendations. So, they’ve set up a blog here. You’ll need your ARLIS/NA username & password to access the blog.
There has been little discussion on the blog, and I’d like to see things a little more lively.
If somebody knows who to contact about setting up a link for the blog on the members only page, please take the time to kindly e-mail them so that the blog is easily found.
This is a great opportunity for art library students and new ARLIS* professionals to be heard. Moreover, your contribution may have a direct affect on how ARLIS/NA operates.
Thanks,
Bryan Loar
