Sunday, June 26, 2011
1:30pm – 3:30pm
Convention Center, Room 338
Moderator: Kathleen Haefliger, Music & Performing Arts Librarian, Chicago State University
Speakers:
Jenn Riley, Head, Carolina Digital Library and Archives,
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

The performing arts are ephemeral textual forms that often elude capture and are difficult to access. While libraries and archives have developed metadata that enables research into collections of written texts, little has been done for texts that encompass space and time: dance, theatre, architecture, and archeology. This panel will discuss issues and possible solutions to the development of controlled vocabularies for, and systematic description of, performance arts objects: both tactile and ephemeral.

Arts is a co sponsor (name only) of this program. It would be wonderful to see some Arts members proposals!
Do you work with students on projects involving images and visual media? Do you teach image research, analysis, evaluation, or citation skills, or are you looking for ways to incorporate visual literacy instruction into the curriculum? We would like to hear from you!
The ACRL/IRIG visual Literacy Standards Task Force has recently released draft ACRL/IRIG Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education. We are looking for educators interested in testing implementation of parts of the draft Standards, then presenting about the experience at ALA 2011 in New Orleans. We are seeking proposals that outline your ideas for implementing parts of the Standards, and using the Standards as tools for pursuing visual literacy with college and university students. We welcome all proposals from individuals or teams, and especially encourage submissions from librarians, faculty, archivists, curators, educational technologists, visual resources professionals, and others with experience working with students and visual materials in higher education.
Proposals should include:
Proposal Deadline: Friday, March 18, 2011
