Joining ARLIS committee

This year has been a great year, professionally speaking. I have now been asked to join one of the ARLIS committee's- ARLIS is the art libraries society and I have become a member of the publication committee. I have to say I am really happy about this, I have wanted to branch out in to new areas of work and this is a great opportunity to be right at the middle of my subject specialism. Also it is starting to be expected of people where I work to have a large network of people you can ask for help etc. So this will be great for that too.

Not sure what I am more excited about- trips to London, living in Plymouth it is a bit of a trek to get over to London on a regular basis. Or the challenge of working on a publishing committee. Visiting the V and A!

Not 100 % sure what is expected of me at the moment, but I also think that in itself is exciting. I would be happy to work in any area of publication.  I have started thinking about projects I would like to work on, but I know I must not get carried away, as I haven't even been to a meeting yet and I have to be realist about what I can achieve in a short space of time.

I think it would be good for me to blog about what is happening during my ARLIS days.
