ARLIS/Montreal-Ottawa-Quebec Chapter NewsSubmitted by Susan Travis and Isabelle Crepeau / posted: 8 February 2005After the spring meeting, two senior members of ARLIS/MOQ became concerned about declining membership in the organization. To address this concern, they sent a formal letter to the co-presidents. As a result of this letter, the executive committee held a special meeting and decided to create a survey. The survey was sent out in September, and the fall 2004 meeting held at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal was dedicated to a discussion of the results. Three of the strongest proposals were chosen as a focus for the year 2005: an ad hoc team will carry out a brainstorming session to recommend a special project for ARLIS-MOQ; a "repertoire of expertise" will be created about and for our members; a mentoring program will be established to link Montreal, Ottawa and Quebec library school students who are interested in art librarianship. The meeting was followed by guided tours (French and English) of the current exhibition at the CCA: The 60s: Montreal Thinks Big. Top of Page |
