As a result of feedback, you’re going to see a few new additions to the ArLiSNAP blog and community. One of the new features we’re rolling out is increased content on the site to help generate discussion about issues important to ArLiSNAP members.
Caley Cannon and Meredith Kahn are the current discussion coordinators, and we’ll be making weekly posts about a range of topics (emerging technologies, social networking sites, teaching, mentoring, transition from student to professional, changing role of art librarians, professional development, recent news in art and architecture, new developments in the publishing industry, etc.).
We hope you find these posts interesting and thought provoking, and that you feel compelled to participate in a discussion via the comments. If there are any topics you’d like us to address, please let us know.
And let the fun begin…

Here’s a lovely piece from Allison Arieff’s By Design blog at the New York Times. It’s about that dying breed–the specialty bookstore:
“Shelf Life”
Great quote: “Stout is a collector in the best sense of the word. Though he joked that he began acquiring books when he realized he’d never have a 401k, it is probably more accurate to say that Stout is in complete thrall of the smell of ink, the feel of paper, the intellectual and physical heft of the literary object, the near-indiscernible sound of the turning of pages.”
After reading this, I don’t feel so bad about schlepping endless boxes of books across the country over the past few years.

ARLIS/NA has just announced a new online publication, Recommended Blogs for Art Reviews.
This is a really great resource, and many thanks to Joel Atkinson, Rachel Beckwith, Sherman Clarke, Ross Day, Jennifer Faist, Joy Garnett, Jennifer L. Hehman, Jacqueline L. Rogers, Amy Watson and editors Jennifer L. Hehman and Kraig Binkowski.
I’d love to see this list in del.icio.us, too. There’s actually a lot of overlap with links already in the ArLiSNAP del.icio.us account. Maybe we could come up with a tag to denote sites that are on the Recommended Blogs list? Or maybe we could work with the editors so that they could create a second version of their list in del.icio.us? It just seems to me that such a great resource should be shared far beyond the ARLIS/NA circle…

Since September of this year, the ARLIS/ANZ President’s blog detailed the exciting process of choosing a new website designed by Communication Design students at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia.
In September President Ellen Thompson reported that students were,
“looking at ways to incorporate blogging, wiki and forum technology into the Arlis/ANZ site itself, so that eventually we don’t have to hang third-party freeware off the site, and can communicate with each other and our Chapter colleagues from within our ‘home’. The only way is up, in terms of the functionality we can expect from our future Arlis/ANZ site”
Indeed, the chosen website design does everything mentioned above, and more! Check out the prototype, which is up for demonstration purposes, but awaiting more substantial content. They’ve incorporated space for an image gallery, videos, discussion forums (with spaces for each chapter), a wiki, and more!
Best wishes to the ARLIS/ANZ group on their stunning new web presence!

After all our talk of blogs and blogging in Atlanta, I was interested in a recent post on the (very new) Library of Congress Blog.
It seems that at least some folks over at the Library of Congress consider (corporate) blogs to be serials, and may already be assigning ISSN numbers to them.
http://www.loc.gov/blog/?p=42
There’s an interesting discussion going on over there, including some mentions of an IBSN (Internet Blog Serial Number). Is ArLiSNAP a serial? Should it have an ISSN? An IBSN (http://ibsn.org/register.php)? I thought about going ahead and registering us for an IBSN, but then wondered what that would imply about ArLiSNAP as a “publication”, when I tend to think of it more as a community. Your thoughts?
