As we witness a sea change in the way the chapter publishes <cite>The Medium</cite>, what better time to visit the first issue of <cite>The Medium</cite>? The opening paragraph indicates that the publication was to be largely shaped by chapter members' contributions, and that approach is even more apt in our new publication environment, which offers an unprecedented level of user input and control.</p> <p>The opening paragraph from the first issue:</p> <p><em>This is the first newsletter of the Art Library Society/North America -- Texas Chapter. As a new publication its form will follow the material we have to print. Future issues will reflect the form and content ARLIS/Texas members give to it. We begin with humility and we strive for significance -- your opinions and ideas are always considered.</em></p> From The Archives Mon, 17 Apr 2006 11:44:10 -0400
