			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>2012 ACRL Image Resources Interest Group Midwinter Virtual Meeting:</strong></p>
<p><strong>“Current Trends in Public Domain Image Policies”</strong></p>
<p>How accessible are  your &#8220;public domain&#8221; digital collections? Please join the <strong>ACRL Image Resources Interest Group (IRIG)</strong> for a conversation about the range of usage policies for public domain digital image collections. To what extent do new open access decisions reflect a shift in the way academic libraries and archives treat access to digital reproductions of public domain materials in our stewardship? Speakers from Cornell and Yale will talk about the recent open access policies at their institutions, and there will be a discussion and Q&amp;A opportunity. Following the program, there will be IRIG updates and announcements.</p>
<p>About the speakers:</p>
<p><strong>Peter Hirtle</strong> is a Senior Policy Advisor at Cornell University Library. Read his <a href="http://vivo.cornell.edu/display/individual23436" target="_blank">bio</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Melissa Gold Fournier</strong> is Associate Museum Registrar and Manager of Imaging Services at the Yale Center for British Art, where she oversees the operation and production of the digital imaging studio as well as rights-related collection information.  Melissa works closely with Yale&#8217;s Department of Digital Assets and Infrastructure on shared projects and serves as the lead for the Center’s participation in Yale&#8217;s shared digital asset management system.  She also works closely with the Center’s Department of Collections Information and Access both administratively and technically in providing access to the Center’s collections online.  Melissa has held successive positions of responsibility in museum registration and collections imaging at the YCBA since 1998, and is a graduate of Yale College.</p>
<p>Date: <strong>Tuesday February 14th, 2:00-3:30 pm Eastern time</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>ArLiSNAP needs to change.</strong></p>
<p>While the organization&#8217;s current information stream about job postings and helpful hints is functional and useful, there is also a lot more we can be doing as an ARLIS significant interest group. In the past two years that I&#8217;ve served as a co-coordinator, we have received almost one hundred new ARLIS members who are interested in the group. This is a tremendous number.</p>
<p>And I think we all deserve to make our group more&#8230;activated and more representative of our education, backgrounds, locales, and personal histories. Young professionals and students are the very definition of the avant-garde&#8211;we are the next wave of understanding, implementation, discussion, and innovation for information professionals in the art library, museum, and academic spheres.</p>
<p>We are all busy. We are all probably all tired. But communities like ours function best with the input of a chorus. To that end, I feel we should not have just two coordinators, but a team of dedicated, focused individuals providing viewpoints, information, resources, and opportunities that address the fuller professional and academic spectrum represented by our membership.</p>
<p>Normally at this time of year, we request for candidates to step up and take on a two-year term of co-coordinatorship. I propose that instead, this year, we not only elect a new co-coordinator, but also establish positions like the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>a student liaison that interacts with representatives from different student library groups across the US and Canada, then reporting important resolutions, accomplishments, and developments</li>
<li>a professional liaison that interacts with representatives from different regional ARLIS factions to highlight how students and young professionals can become involved on a more local level</li>
<li>an opportunities coordinator that focuses on pushing job postings, educational information (webinars, symposia, etc.) to our different venues on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and the blog</li>
<li>a small team of dedicated &#8220;issues&#8221; bloggers that contribute original content to our blog in the form of topical analysis relevant to the field of art librarianship</li>
<li>an advisory council comprised of former coordinators and interested professionals/scholars that can mentor the group&#8217;s leadership and contribute their voices to discussions</li>
</ul>
<p>These are but a few suggestions&#8211;nothing is decided and nor will it be without an open discussion with the group&#8217;s members. I feel that while we have made significant progress in the past year in terms of membership numbers and blog traffic, there are still gaps that I couldn&#8217;t bridge as coordinator. The lives of students and young professionals are often overwhelmingly full. I found myself frequently frustrated by the lack of time I had to devote to creating more dynamic content for our group. It seems to me that having a stronger community of producers all devoted to a common cause will ease the burden of the coordinators by diffusing the workload. More importantly though, a diversity of voices can only increase the vitality of discussion amongst our members.</p>
<p>Now, more than ever, we need to ask questions and look to each other for help. We need to take advantage of our strengths, our experiences, and our intelligence in order to make the important issues of our membership impossible to ignore.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s start a conversation. Let&#8217;s talk about what we want ArLiSNAP to do for us as a community. Let&#8217;s talk about the future.</p>
<p>I hope you will all chime in with opinions and suggestions. I look forward to moving forward.</p>
<p><strong>Rosemary K. J. Davis</strong><br />
<strong>Co-Coordinator, 2010-2012 </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Archival Internships</strong><br />
<strong>Museum of the City of New York</strong><br />
<strong>Summer 2011</strong></p>
<p><strong>Internship Description</strong>:</p>
<p>The Museum of the City of New York is currently seeking two library school students interested in a summer archives internship. Interns will work with the Museum’s Theater Collection or Manuscripts and Ephemera Collection and will have the opportunity to gain experience in cataloging, handling fragile objects, evaluating the condition of the object for conservation and preservation, collection processing, and/or writing finding aids.  Interns may assist with reference inquiries and the Museum’s ongoing digitization project, as needed. Projects will vary according to an individual’s skill set and interests.</p>
<p><strong>About the Collections</strong>:</p>
<p><em>Theater Collection</em></p>
<p>The Museum’s Theater Collection documents theatrical activity in New York City from the late 18th century to the present day. Tracing the relationship between New York City and the theater, collection holdings include: over 5,000 costumes and props, costume renderings, theatrical posters and window cards, drawings and photographs of theatrical personalities, a Yiddish theater collection, and 17,000 folders documenting local productions since the 1800s.</p>
<p><em>Manuscripts and Ephemera Collection</em></p>
<p>These objects document the day-to-day life of New Yorkers over the last 300 years with the bulk of the materials dating to late 19th and early 20th centuries. The ephemera comprise a variety of formats, including print material such as menus, invitations, pamphlets, and handbills; textiles such as pennants, sashes, ties, and scarves; and three-dimensional artifacts such as badges, buttons, children’s identification tags, and promotional items. The manuscript collection includes papers of influential New Yorkers and their families.  The subject of the material encompasses a wide scope of events and subjects pertaining to development of New York City.</p>
<p><strong>Requirements</strong>:</p>
<p>Each internship requires a minimum commitment of  one full day a week (7 hours), scheduled during the Monday &#8211; Friday workweek. Internships are unpaid. Preference will be given to students completing the internship for course credit.  Candidates must be currently enrolled in a Masters program for Library Science. Interns must be able to lift boxes weighing up to 40 pounds.  Students with a focus in Archival Studies are encouraged to apply</p>
<p>To be considered for this opportunity, please send a cover letter and resume to Morgen Stevens-Garmon, Theater Collections Archivist at <a href="mailto:mgarmon@mcny.org">mgarmon@mcny.org</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I went to the <a href="http://arlisnap.org/2011/03/31/defining-the-digital-humanities-event-at-columbia-university/">&#8220;Defining the Digital Humanities&#8221;</a> lecture at Columbia University in New York City.  It was a really interesting and thought provoking talk, and I thought it would be worth sharing with y&#8217;all.</p>
<p><a href="http://historyarthistory.gmu.edu/people/details/dcohen">Dan Cohen</a> is a professor at George Mason University and Director of GMU&#8217;s <a href="http://chnm.gmu.edu/">Center for History and New Media.</a></p>
<p>The bulk of Cohen&#8217;s talk was on the variety of ways in which new technologies have aided the study of Humanities and allowed scholars new insights into their fields.  For example, through analysis of large bodies of knowledge, namely texts but also other media.</p>
<p>The example Cohen gave included a graph of how the use of the word &#8220;Christian&#8221;  in the titles of books decreased during the 19th century.  His point was that given a starting point like that, the researcher could then switch to a close reading to investigate for a possible language and cultural shift that could accompany the data.  To Cohen, aggregate data analysis is only one of the skills in a researcher&#8217;s toolbox, but one that allows researchers the ability to differentiate anecdotal evidence from overall trends. Cohen believes that the skills necessary to harness digital humanities will be taught/should be taught in graduate school along with, say,  paleography.</p>
<p>Other projects and technologies brought up by Cohen:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://wardepartmentpapers.org/">Papers of the War Department</a> &#8211; This represents the possibility of bringing together a large number of objects that are geographically dispersed into one database where they can be found more easily.   The Papers of the War project is meant to re-create the official documents of the War Department of the United States before its office and all its records burned in a fire.  The office&#8217;s papers can be mostly reconstructed because two copies were made of each document, one for the War Department and one for the recipient.  The database allows for research that previously had been prohibitively expensive, as large numbers of documents are available for analysis without having to track down every archive that possesses a document from the War Department.</li>
<li><a href="http://omeka.org/">Omeka</a> &#8211; a free, open source publishing platform that allows for easier remixing of data, such as plugging in a map to help analyze existing data and look for patterns.</li>
<li>Born-digital media is very fragile but also can be very useful. It tends to be more useful or more managable in aggregate.  Example: President Johnson&#8217;s White House had 40,000 memos, President Clinton&#8217;s White House had 4 million electronic memos.  It is impossible to go through 4 million memos using traditional means.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.zotero.org/">Zotero </a>- a favorite of Columbia staff &#8211; possesses the ability to strip semantic data from the web to help users deal with the heterogeneous mixture of media and data present on the web.</li>
<li>Scholarly Communication is a field that can benefit greatly through the application of digital humanities.   Cohen encourages his graduate students to blog and create a web presence.  Blogs and other social media are useful because  they allow for a more interdisciplinary conversation.  Cohen also recommends <a href="http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/tne/about">The New Everyday</a>, that is, a media outlet for short essays (1000-2000 words) and multimedia,  and</li>
<li>Twitter can be very useful, because of its ability to quickly query a large number of people for hard-to-research information.  <a href="http://twitter.com/jayrosen_nyu">Jay Rosen</a> at NYU&#8217;s School of Journalism uses Twitter to run a &#8220;flying seminar&#8221; what over 50,000 people follow.</li>
<li><a href="http://digitalhumanitiesnow.org/">Digital Humanities Now</a></li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.brookes.ac.uk/wie/staff/federicafrabetti">Federica Frabetti</a> is a professor of Communication, Media and Culture at the UK&#8217;s Oxford Brookes University. Most of her talk seems to be taken from <a href="http://www.culturemachine.net/index.php/cm/article/viewDownloadInterstitial/431/461">this article.</a></p>
<p>Her presentation primarily focused on a humanities analysis of technology, and the ways in which the humanities can be critical of and shape technology.</p>
<p>Increasingly, the digital humanities is stabilizing and increasingly being embedded in the University, becoming part of the discourse about universities when universities are increasingly multinational and in crisis.  This is problematic because given humanities&#8217; intimate ties with universities, they run the risk of becoming part of the greater discourse on higher education.  The field of digital humanities is also solidifying in a way that is problematic.</p>
<p>Frabetti pointed out that globalization itself requires the innovation from digitization to make itself financially feasible.</p>
<p>She cites <a href="http://culturemachine.net/index.php/cm/article/view/441/471">Gary Hall</a> from <a href="http://culturemachine.net/index.php/cm">Culturemachine.net</a>, asking the question of what humanities can bring to the study of computer science and how hey can shape technological development.  Frabetti calls on humanities scholars to not only understand how to use software, but also to understand how it works and analyze how software shapes the human being.   She also goes on to discuss the writings of Stiegler and Tim Clark (from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Deconstructions-Users-Guide-Nicholas-Royle/dp/0333717619">Deconstructions: A User&#8217;s Guide</a>), namely that Western thought is based on the Aristotelian idea of separating technical knowledge from epistemology, and that tools do not shape the person who wields them.  This is of course problematic given that increasingly we feel like we have created Frankenstein&#8217;s Monster, that the technology that we have created is increasingly affecting us in negative ways.</p>
<p>As a parable, Frabetti brings up the novel, <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Turing-Option-Questar-Science-Fiction/dp/0446364967/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1302130843&amp;sr=8-1">The Turing Option</a></em> in which the protagonist, Delany has a computer installed in a part of the brain he lost in an accident.  Delaney must then relearn all that he had previously learned.  Ultimately, however, Delaney finds that he can never reconstruct the brain he once had; there is no way to reconstruct his original self.  This story brings to light a process that is always happening in humans: we are always reconstructing our brains and changing our minds.</p>
<p>Frabetti questions the assumption about the instrumentality and rationality at the core of digitization.  There is a gap between technology and language, and there needs to be space for self-reflexive digital humanities.  Also, it is necessary to examine universities&#8217; role in digital creation, given their increasing political significance.</p>
<p><a href="http://unibo.academia.edu/DinoBuzzetti">Dino Buzzetti</a> is formerly a professor of Medieval Philosophy at the University of Bologna.  The article on which his talk is based can be <a href="http://muse.jhu.edu/login?uri=/journals/new_literary_history/v033/33.1buzzetti.pdf">found in Project Muse.</a></p>
<p>Buzzetti follows in Manfred Thaller&#8217;s footsteps in saying that the purpose of computer science is to create algorithms and systems, but for digital humanities, these algorithms and systems must be built around the disciplines they wish to incorporate.</p>
<p>The digital wishes to create a simulation of the text it presents.</p>
<p>Can visual representations of data replace reading and reflection?</p>
<p>With knowledge representations, tools can create new relationships with the text.</p>
<p>This problem can be solved through the unification of Web 2.0, the Semantic Web and Digital Libraries to form Semantic Digital Libraries.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Monday, the crowds and familiar faces had thinned out significantly. On Monday morning, I was fortunate enough to attend the &#8216;<strong>Up Close and Hands On&#8217;: Minnesota Center for the Book Arts</strong> tour with a small group of Conference attendees. According to the Center&#8217;s website, it is &#8220;the largest and most comprehensive center of its kind in the nation&#8221;. In addition to studio spaces for artists, there is also a cafe, a gift shop, space for exhibitions, offices, and a library and archives. <span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:x-small;"> </span>Early on, we were shown the Center&#8217;s collection of in-use Vandercook Presses (<a href="http://vandercookpress.info/">http://vandercookpress.info/</a>), which were beautiful machines indeed. A variety of letterpress techniques were also discussed and demonstrated. Later, Executive Director Jeff Rathermel provided details about their small but well organized library, which has reference materials available to members and instructors and uses the Library of Congress Classification system. There is also an archives that includes rare books, prints, broadsides, &#8216;zines, and artists&#8217; books. With a collection of around 400 artists&#8217; books, the Center has been cataloging them by looking at models such as the Flasch Collection at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (<a href="http://digital-libraries.saic.edu/cdm4/index_jfabc.php?CISOROOT=/jfabc">http://digital-libraries.saic.edu/cdm4/index_jfabc.php?CISOROOT=/jfabc</a>) for guidance. At the same time, Rathermel noted that they are &#8220;breaking more rules than they are following, but want to know which rules they&#8217;re breaking&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">More info about the Minnesota Center for the Book Arts can be found here: <a href="http://www.mnbookarts.org/">http://www.mnbookarts.org/</a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">To those who attended this year&#8217;s Conference &#8212; have a great year!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll probably notice a few changes in the coming weeks as we refresh the blog&#8217;s look and functionality.  Suzanne and myself will be working hard to incorporate new streams of information and useful resources into the site in order to help you find more jobs, more educational opportunities, and more discussion within the art librarian community.</p>
<p>Things will be a bit jumpy as all the pieces settle into place but hopefully the ArLiSNAP site will emerge with a renewed sense of dedication and exploration, along with a bit of visual flair.</p>
<p>As always, we are looking for contributors and participants.  If you&#8217;re interested, email us!  And speaking of email, Suzanne will be sending out a call for specific point people to help with postings, webmaster responsibilities, and discussion coordinators.  Keep your eyes open for that and stay in touch with suggestions for how we can better serve you.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

<p>The ArLiSNAP special interest group continued to innovate over the last  year.  From outreach to new and existing ARLIS/NA members to various  initiatives created in response to ArLiSNAP member desires, ArLiSNAP  continues to position itself as an indispensable resource for art  library students and new professionals.</p>
<p>At the 2010 annual ArLiSNAP meeting, coordinators Bryan Loar and Tracy  Bergstrom solicited member feedback via a paper-based survey.  The  survey was also posted online using a Google document form.  In 2011,  the survey will be given again by Bryan Loar and Rosemary Davis, and  there will be an emphasis on timely analysis.</p>
<p>In response to suggestions at the 2010 meeting, ArLiSNAP moved their  presence on Facebook from a group to a page.  By doing so, ArLiSNAP  automated the redistribution of blog postings to Facebook.  While  Facebook’s native RSS feed import within Notes proved challenging, the  use of RSS Graffiti solved importing issues and allowed ArLiSNAP  coordinators to track statistics.  ArLiSNAP sent a message to the  group’s members two weeks before the group’s closure indicating the need  to join (i.e. “like”) the new page.  The new page was promoted on  ArLiSNAP’s blog and ARLIS-L, and the effort grew the number of members  by over 50.</p>
<p>This year’s annual ArLiSNAP meeting will be historic. On Sunday, March  27, ArLiSNAP will hold a joint meeting with student and new professional  members of the VRA.  The meeting will be a forum for students and young  professionals to talk about the problems, plans, and pleasures of the  academic and professional worlds.  The joint meeting will give members  of both organizations the opportunity to discuss potential  collaborations between art librarians and visual resource curators.  So  that the VRA members may solidify their own group, ArLiSNAP will also  share best practices.  ArLiSNAP will also query participants to  determine what kinds of new services, events, and educational  opportunities are most important to emerging and developing  professionals.</p>
<p>In  2011, ArLiSNAP initiated the process to transition from a special  interest group to a section.  By becoming a section, ArLiSNAP will  further solidify its incorporation into the Society and be empowered to  provide a greater number of resources for its constituency.  In order to  petition the transition in March, ArLiSNAP will solicit at least 30,  hand-written signatures from current ARLIS/NA members at the joint VRA +  ARLIS/NA conference.  Additionally, as an act of solidarity, ArLiSNAP  will offer ARLIS/NA members an unofficial, online petition through  Care2’s <a href="http://www.thepetitionsite.com/">thepotitionsite.com</a>.   Currently, online petitions are not supported by ARLIS/NA bylaws;  however, the Board will be reviewing this policy in the upcoming  2011-2012 term.</p>
<p>ArLiSNAP has again supported the New Voices in the Profession session  at VRA + ARLIS/NA’s annual conference. The New Voices panel is a truly  collaborative effort this year&#8211;it features the Gerd Museham Award  winners from 2010 and 2011, a speaker chosen by the Education  Subcommittee of the VRA, and a fourth presenter chosen by the ARLIS/NA  Professional Development subcommittee and ArLiSNAP.   Rosemary Davis  worked with Maggie Portis, Assistant Librarian at the New York School of  Interior Design, to review essays submitted by students and young  professionals from all over the country.  The chosen speaker, Kathryn  Pierce, is an IMLS Preservation Fellow, at the University of Texas at  Austin School of Information.  She will present a paper entitled, “You  Need More Fingers Than Ten: Collaborating to Document Architectural  Practice”.  ArLiSNAP looks forward to participating in the panel  selection again next year and highlighting emerging stars in the field.</p>
<p>Touchpoints  with new and renewing members continued to play a key role in  solidifying ArLiSNAP’s presence within ARLIS/NA.  As a result of  notifications sent by TEI to Bryan Loar regarding those members  interested in ArLiSNAP, the group was able to significantly raise  awareness of ArLiSNAP through our standardized email response.  In all,  over 300 responses were sent out, prompting additional dialogue with a  number of ARLIS/NA members.</p>
<p>The feasibility of being hosted by TEI, ARLIS/NA’s management company,  was further investigated.  Bryan Loar, also ArLiSNAP’s Senior Site  Administrator, has been in contact with TEI’s management, and he was  told in 2010 that hosting WordPress was not feasible due to TEI’s IIS  servers.  However, In February, 2011, one of the senior members of TEI  indicated that recent upgrades may allow WordPress.  Bryan will continue  to research in March and report to ArLiSNAP members.</p>
<p>ArLiSNAP has again provided resources for first-time conference attendees.  ArLiSNAP’s conference survival guide wiki (<a href="http://snapconference.pbworks.com/">http://snapconference.pbworks.com</a>)  was updated with new graphics and content related to the joint VRA  &amp; ARLIS/NA conference in Minneapolis.  It is hoped that  corresponding brochures  will be distributed at the conference’s First Time Attendee Orientation  as well as through the information desk near registration.</p>
<p>ArLiSNAP also organized the conference pub stop, now in its 6th year.   This year’s location is still to be determined.  Promotional graphics  were designed by Bryan Loar, and the event was publicized on ARLISN/NA’s  Facebook page, VRA’s Facebook page, and on ArLiSNAP at <a href="http://arlisnap.org/2011/02/24/arlisnap-pub-stop-2011">http://arlisnap.org/2011/02/24/arlisnap-pub-stop-2011</a>.</p>

<p>As you know, ArLiSNAP enriches the Society by providing valuable programming and support to annual conference sessions and services.  ArLiSNAP is or has been involved in New Voices in the Profession, Backpack to Briefcase,  Hot Topics for Librarians in the Arts, Trends in Technologies and Services in Libraries, Engaging New Technologies, Web 2.0 Kiosk, What-to-Expect webinars, and resume workshops.  ArLiSNAP provides levity and comradeship with our annual Pub Stop, now in its seventh year.  And a number of current and former members have taken on important leadership roles within the Society.</p>
<p><strong>Now we need your help.  ArLiSNAP is formally petitioning to change its classification from an ARLIS/NA Special Interest Group (SIG) to a Section.</strong> By doing so, ArLiSNAP will become more integral within the Society and be able to provide an even greater level of service.</p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>ArLiSNAP members will formally collect at least 30, hand-written petition signatures at this year’s annual conference.  However, informally, we’d like to invite you to easily show your support right now at</strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/arlisnap-section/"><strong>http</strong><strong>://</strong><strong>www</strong><strong>.</strong><strong>thepetitionsite</strong><strong>.</strong><strong>com</strong><strong>/1/</strong><strong>arlisnap</strong><strong>-</strong><strong>section</strong><strong>/</strong></a><strong> </strong></h3>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> </span></strong></p>
<p>Thank you for your continued support of ArLiSNAP.  Without it, we would not be able to provide ARLIS/NA’s next generation with the <em>community</em>, <em>innovation</em>, and <em>empowerment</em> necessary to be successful professionals and Society advocates.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Bryan Loar and Rosemary Davis</p>
<p>ArLiSNAP Coordinators</p>
