<br />
We began with a Special General Meeting, before we got into the final two sessions.<br />
<br />
The first focused on 'Practitioners and their Communities', the speakers were Helen Clifford and Sian Lile-Pastore. Helen described her time as Artist in Residence at the <a href="https://warpresource.wordpress.com/library/" target="_blank">WARP (Wales Artist Resource Programme) Library</a>. She was interested in libraries as creative and changing spaces, and threads and interconnections between users and between resources. As a member of staff in the Library at Cardiff Metropolitan University, Helen also explored cataloging and classification, and described how she covered many of the books in the Library so that they had to be opened to discover the contents, brave words in a room full of librarians!<br />

<br />
Sian spoke to us about the <a href="http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/blog/2015-03-17/Fragile-and-the-youth-forum/" target="_blank">National Museum Cardiff Youth Forum</a> and the 'Smashed' alternative guide to the <a href="http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/cardiff/whatson/7948/Fragile/" target="_blank">Fragile?</a> contemporary ceramics exhibition that they produced. Key to the success of the project was working with numerous different external partners to guide and advise the group on photography, design, and interview techniques.<br />
<br />
After lunch the final session 'Making <i>Visual</i> Visual Resources' definitely fitted into the conference theme of 'mining the resources'. Andrew Ellis updated us on the progress of the Public Catalogue Foundation, and projects such as <a href="http://tagger.thepcf.org.uk/" target="_blank">Tagger</a> and <a href="http://www.thepcf.org.uk/artdetective/" target="_blank">Art Detective</a> which aim to aid discover-ability and fill in gaps in knowledge. John Davies and Kristen Marshall talked to us about the slide collections at the Visual Resources Centre, Manchester Metropolitan University, filling us in on it's background and the threats to it's survival. Kristin described the projects they've undertaken to raise awareness of the collections and hold off on it's disposal, including <a href="https://vimeo.com/114199046" target="_blank">Project(ed) Voices</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/slideoftheday?src=hash" target="_blank">#slideoftheday</a> and <a href="https://pickaslide.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Adopt a Slide</a>. It was great that at the end of their presentation they were able to announce that the collection was to be transferred to the University's Special Collections department, which should ensure their survival.<br />

The last presentation was from Vicky Brown on visual literacy [see slides from her presentation <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/Bostik6/visual-literacy-visual-resources-the-role-of-the-librarian-trinity-or-triage" target="_blank">here</a>], she showed us some examples of initiatives that seek to teach visual reading and thinking skills. Her presentation was supposed to be joint with Jenny Godfrey, who unfortunately couldn't attend, but luckily she had conducted a virtual presentation on the same subject earlier and Vicky was able to play a recording. Jenny described to us a project for students called the 'Baby Cage' which was designed to test research and critical thinking as students explore an assigned image [see slides from the presentation <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/Bostik6/the-baby-cage-jenny-godfrey-cardiff-metropolitan-university" target="_blank">here</a>]. Vicky also played us a fab Pathé video that students found relating to the image they'd been investigating.<br />

After breakfast in the School of Management delegates headed into the first session of the day, 'Enterprise in the Arts'.<br />
<br />
The overriding theme of the session was in the value of networks and relationships to support creative industries. Alice Taylor described Cardiff University's <a href="http://blogs.cardiff.ac.uk/creativecardiff/2015/03/12/mapping-cardiffs-creative-economy/" target="_blank">Mapping Cardiff's Creative Economy project</a>, and gamely filled in for colleague Hannah Bayfield to also discuss REACT (<a href="http://www.react-hub.org.uk/" target="_blank">Research & Enterprise in the Arts & Creative Technology</a>). Her presentation complete with '<a href="http://www.react-hub.org.uk/news/help-make-hyde-happen/" target="_blank">Jekyll/Hyde game</a>' video was a big hit, and the session was very ably rounded off by Sian Elin Thomas of <a href="http://www.sianelin.com/" target="_blank">Sian Elin Designs</a>, a local designer who discussed the benefits and opportunities that participating in networks such as the <a href="http://www.cardiffartscollective.co.uk/" target="_blank">Cardiff Arts Collective</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The second session of the day, 'The Welsh Landscape', featured <a href="http://www.paulcabuts.com/articles_101678.html" target="_blank">Dr Paul Cabuts</a> and <a href="http://staff.southwales.ac.uk/users/396-cthomas1" target="_blank">Dr Ceri Thomas</a>. both discussed the influence of the Welsh landscape on art. Dr Cabuts showcased <a href="http://www.ffotogallery.org/whats-on/the-valleys-archive" target="_blank">The Valleys Project</a>, photographs from the mid-1980s depicting life in the south Wales valleys and attempting to document many of the changes occurring during that period. Dr Thomas presented the work of two Welsh artists, <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p012k5ww" target="_blank">Joan Baker</a> and <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/artists/zobole-ernest-19271999" target="_blank">Ernest Zobole</a>, heavily influenced by links to their local areas. Baker in Cardiff and the south Wales coastline, and Zobole in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhondda" target="_blank">Rhondda</a>.<br />
<br />
After lunch delegates split off into groups for the breakout sessions. The sessions on 'Introducing Illustration Studies' and the 'Artists Books collections' were full of useful ideas on how to use special collections within teaching, not to mention that they had that visual wow factor! Plenty of interesting suggestions came out of the 'Writing for Publication' workshop run by the editor and deputy editor of the <a href="http://www.arlis.net/periodicals-libraries-sources/publications" target="_blank">Art Libraries Journal</a>, and the '<a href="http://www.glamarchives.gov.uk/" target="_blank">Glamorgan Archives</a> Volunteer Programme' showed how archives can engage with their communities. And, in the 'CILIP and ARLIS Membership Discussion' CILIP in Wales officer, Mandy Powell, attempted to bribe attendees with Haribo!<br />
<br />
Then it was time to rush off and get ready for dinner in a castle! Delegates were treated to a wine reception in the Library of Cardiff Castle, followed by a short tour and dinner in the banqueting hall. the truly stunning surroundings, great food, and arrival of pudding [!] were a definite highlight of the conference.<br />

As in all conference organisation, some delays are inevitable – the sun appeared a bit later than expected for the visits, the coaches also appeared later than expected for the visits, and some documents via couriers eventually turned up – but nevertheless the conference and sunshine shone during the day!<br />

<br />
The opening plenary, by the government head in Wales of <a href="http://gov.wales/topics/cultureandsport/museumsarchiveslibraries/cymal/?lang=en" target="_blank">‘Museums, Archives and Libraries’ (MALD</a>), Linda Tomos, was a sweeping view of the scene in Wales, related to the conference theme of the economy, arts and culture, and the links across them. Linda noted the low levels of prosperity across Wales, and hence the need to ‘punch our weight’ with arts and culture ventures, to vitalize other areas of life – social, educational, and economic. Lots of examples were given – and lots of advice: be innovative/entrepreneurial, take opportunities which arise, look for new audiences, link in with major sector themes (where there is usually money attached), get partners/collaborators, and find good ‘champions’ for your cause/sector to assist you.<br />
<br />
The second plenary had three fascinating presentations related to – the world of advertising (in WW1), the world of the stage (theatre archives), and the world of Wales (NLW collections). Amanda-Jane Doran spoke about the ‘science of sales’ in WW1 era adverts, and how she appealed to publishers with the theme for her book on this topic. Jo Elsworth from Bristol Theatre Archive talked about their innovative outreach with a wide variety of groups, to make the collections relevant to educational, social, and commercial audiences. Lloyd Roderick from the National Library of Wales gave an amusing and broad perspective on the NLW art collections, and how digitisation is helping to link in with audiences well beyond the borders of Wales.<br />
<br />
After lunch two presentations looked at practical examples of ‘art fueling the economy’ with a perspective on the V+A exhibition ‘Savage Beauty’ and the work behind that, by Louise Rytter and Sally Williams; Richard Morris, Dean at Cardiff Metropolitan University, looked at enterprise and business foundations for modern art students coming into the world of work. (Later that evening a Cardiff Met. Student, A.J. Stockwell gave a fascinating insight into her venture into the workplace via an assisted scheme within the university).<br />

<br />
Delegates then scattered to the four corners of Cardiff, on art and architectural tours of Cardiff Bay, the City Centre, and various libraries and galleries – if walking tours can be described as ‘whirlwind’, these were examples!<br />
<br />
<br />
The evening finished on a high note, with the launch of the latest in the series of the <a href="http://artresearchersguideseries.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">ARLIS ‘Art Researchers’ Guide’ books</a>, with the volume on Cardiff and south Wales; again a credit to Rose Roberto and her editorial team for another fine volume (on sale via ARLIS, Cardiff University Library, and the National Museum of Wales, and all ‘good’ bookshops of course)! The after dinner quiz was a hoot, the most difficult question being ‘what happened to the pudding’ – nobody got that right!<br />

Its roots go back to pre-Roman eras, with the occasional cromlech scattered around the region. Today Cardiff is the home of the National Assembly for Wales, the finance and business centre for the region, the Welsh media, and a hub for research, arts, sport, and culture. It is also home to one of the most beautiful civic centres in Europe. </span><br />

We support the work of the Museum's curatorial staff, but also provide access to external researchers by appointment. The contents of our Library reflect the diverse nature of Amgueddfa Cymru's collections, covering subjects such as; Archaeology; Fine and Applied Art; Industrial and Social History; The Natural Sciences; and Museum Studies.<br />

<br />
Besides the general reference material and the museology collection, the Main Library holds all the pre-1701 books in the Library, together with a number of other special collections such as the Willoughby Gardner collection of early natural history books and Gwendoline Davies's personal collection of special bindings from the Gregynog Press.<br />
<br />
Cardiff University<br />
SCOLAR was established ten years ago in Cardiff University Library to integrate, develop, and promote the Special Collections and Archives of the University – basically all our historical collections. Over that period we have discovered a major strand of illustrated, artistic, and visual related materials scattered across the collections - these appear in unique manuscript documents, in rare printed books, in historical journals and newspapers, cheap printed ballads, old posters, and even in Victorian children’s literature. We have utilized these visual resources for external grant applications, internal student workshops, publicity materials, and to respond to research enquiries.<br />

Afterwards there will be a walking tour of examples of the plentiful public art in the Cardiff Bay area, which reveals Cardiff’s industrial and maritime heritage, led by creative consultant Wiard Sterk, who commissioned many of the works in his role as Director of <a href="http://www.cbat.co.uk/" target="_blank">CBAT, the Arts & Regeneration Agency</a>. Wiard will highlight different approaches to public art, its purpose and why and how the works came about.<br />

In times of austerity we are told we ‘need to do more with less’ but we are already doing much to exploit and develop the rich veins of resources held in our libraries. This year’s Annual Conference is an opportunity to explore, share and celebrate the many ways in which art libraries can demonstrate our worth to the arts economy and wider afield. Topics under consideration include; innovation, engagement, promotion and how we can demonstrate the roles librarians, archivists, information specialists etc. can play in ‘adding value’ to the impact our institutions have in the world of the arts.<br />

<br />
How about designing a poster to present at the Poster Session we’d like

experience and expertise of ARLIS members and for everyone to discuss
new ideas. <br />
<br />
When’s it running?<br />
<br />
Thursday 17 July from 12:30 until 14:30.<br />
<br />
Posters will be available to view during the lunch break and presenters
should be on hand for most of the session to answer questions.<br />

The Conference Working Party wishes to give registered delegates an
opportunity to participate more fully in the Conference by offering the
chance to present a poster on their chosen topic. It is hoped the poster
session will act as a showcase for the professional interests, skills
and expertise of ARLIS members and provide the opportunity for everyone
to discuss the ideas and experience on display.<br />
<br />
• The session will run on Thurs 17 July 12:30 until 14:30 in the Barnes Wallis Room. <br />
• Posters should relate to projects, research or activities that you are
involved in, either individually or as part of a group, which will be
of interest to ARLIS members <br />
• A display board measuring 2.1m high x 1.2m wide will be provided (takes up to A0 <br />
poster size and requires Velcro stickers for display) <br />
• Posters need to be colourful and eye-catching. They should be clearly readable from a distance of two metres<br />
• Posters should not be downloaded web pages or PowerPoint presentations<br />
• Posters can be accompanied by explanatory handouts, but we cannot
accommodate any further free-standing displays beside your display board
<br />
• Contributors should be on hand to answer questions throughout the session <br />
<br />
Those intending to attend the Conference and wishing to present a poster
are invited to submit the application form together with a brief
description of not more than 200 words. <br />
<br />
Applications must be received by 24 June 2014 and the Conference Working Party will make its decision known by 1 July 2014.Rose Robertohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15231111124749025923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740640515304961093.post-34299271638042594122014-06-04T00:48:00.003+01:002014-06-04T00:51:47.968+01:00Please use online form to registerHello everyone,<br />
We would like to request if possible that you use the <a href="http://arlisconference.blogspot.co.uk/p/register-online.html">online form</a>, rather than the printed one on the ARLIS website. There are some technical difficulties with the ARLIS website and the print form is an older version that doesn't include dietary preferences.<br />
<br />
Also, if you need to book an extra night before the conference or after (Tuesday or Friday) can you please indicate this in the box where visits and workshops are indicated.<br />
<br />
Many thanks and we look forward to seeing you next month in Manchester.<br />

exciting city centre of Manchester, not far from the Peak District. This year we are celebrating Art Librarianship with the theme, Reaching New Peaks: Onwards and Upwards.<br />
<br />
Through a booming textile trade, Manchester earned the title of
‘Cottonopolis’ the world´s first industrialised city, now it is the
UK’s third most visited city as visitors flock to take in the culture,
architecture, sport, music scene and more. <br />
<br />
During the Conference we will make the most of what this great
historical city has to offer, with a varied programme celebrating recent
achievements including digitisation, new buildings and visual archives.
Join us as we visit the recently and beautifully refurbished Manchester
Central Library and Archives+, go on walking tours and view the Special
Collections of the University of Manchester and the Manchester
Metropolitan University. <br />
<br />
Other highlights will include a visit to and bespoke tour of Manchester
Museum, dinner among the dinosaurs afterwards should not be missed!
