Publications and Communications

The Chapter continues to gather data and update its Arts & Crafts in Western New York Survey http://scholes.alfred.edu/orgs/arlis/survey/surveytitlepage.html

The Chapter prepared and approved for printing a tri-fold brochure to be used in marketing ARLIS/WNY to the three library schools within its membership region: University at Buffalo, University at Albany and Syracuse University.

Bylaw revisions are under discussion to include a new office, Publications Editor, to oversee all digital and print materials created and distributed by the Chapter with the goal of establishing a consistent graphical identity and quality of content across all publications.
