Check out the changes at the Chicago Underground Library
The Chicago Underground Library is now the Read/Write Library. Personally I prefer the old name – more intriguing, describes the kind of collections you might expect to find – so I don’t really get the name change. However, the new space is going to be very cool, I hear and I intend to check it out as soon as it’s all official.
Aaaaaand now it’s live.
Okay, so we have to spice it up with some better CSS, however please feel free to join. Send some code suggestions if you like. http://artcounsel.org/simplemachinesforum/index.php

Sorry about that…
Curators, Art Librarians and Information Specialists, we invite you to join the Art Counsel forum
While the forum membership has climbed to over 1500, there has not been very much conversation lately because the boards were too diffuse for our target audience. We would like to start again, as a place where professionals from art libraries, archives, and museums can network and collaborate. International members are more than welcome and we don’t mind setting up conversation boards in foreign languages if desired.
Forum Revamp
The forum experiment was fun, but it really lacked focus so it is being reconsidered with a much narrower scope and with a better design.
