It works !!

(Testing the reply feature).

Just a quick note to let you know that I forwarded the arlis-l announcement
about this award to Loriene Roy at UT Austin, with a suggestion that the
message be sent to appropriate ISchool listservs.

Best wishes,

Thanks, Helen. I’m going to try to attend although I have a sudden conflict. Not sure I can vote by proxy but I support the staff option being added. I’ll recuse myself for the Mexico City conference donation but please be mindful that a donation for 2023 must be made in 2023; if the chapter donates money before January 1, it will be supporting…[Read more]

Ah! See, great minds think alike. I *knew* there would be folks doing similar research and noticing a need for more comprehensive information on material collecting!

Siobhan, it sounds like you are a year or so ahead of me and I’ll reach out to learn what you’ve learned.

Mark, congrats on the sabbatical and I’m very happy to hear you are…[Read more]

Hi Shannon and Siobhan,

Thanks for starting and continuing this discussion.

I have a six-month sabbatical during the first half of 2024 devoted to the generation of a handbook for materials collections. It’s only very loosely conceived at this point and I’ll have some research leave in 2023 to plot it out further. BUT it would be great to add…[Read more]

Hi Shannon,

I’m at the same stage in developing a materials collection at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Hi y’all!

Thank you Mark – next time I’ll try when2meet instead! 🙂

Rachel was able to access and vote — one issue may be with the website display — I’ve had to scroll down a bit to get to the times that weren’t midnight-6am, though accessing it on my phone it was a little easier.

If anyone is still having trouble, email me and I’ll send you…[Read more]

I could click into the Doodle link but the calendar does not show any linked days or times to select.

sidebar: I find when2meet much easier than Doodle!

Hi Rachel!

Let me see… you shouldn’t have to create a Doodle account to vote – let me try to send it to you via email and see if that works. If anyone else is having this problem, just let me know (I’m not a Doodle pro by any stretch). 🙂

Thank you,

Helen

Hello! I am a new member of ARLIS. I’ve clicked on your link but I am still unable to vote. Do I need to create a Doodle account in order to do so?

I like the “Where are My People?” series from ACSA. They have one on Native American, First Nations, and Indigenous. I’ve used these with students in conversation about professional practice. This study found the overwhelming reason indigenous find careers in architecture fields “was the responsibility to be a cultural protector or guardian.…[Read more]
