Dear colleagues,
As a reminder, the Visual Materials and Description Sections hosted an in-person discussion at SAA Chicago on the description of visual materials and we are now taking the conversation online! This is an opportunity for us to take a deeper dive into some of the topics that came up at our in person chat as well as discuss topics with a broader audience. You did not need to attend the in person meeting to participate in our online event! If you want to take a look at what we discussed, please check out our notes from the event: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HBFXTu1D8reIUro1_nsEGpRLYqGgcQIl53hmHvjkogM/edit?usp=sharing.
In order to have a more targeted discussion, please let us know what you want to chat about! Please rank topics as well as submit your own by filling out this brief form by the end of the day Thursday, January 23: https://forms.gle/JDp7F6BhbWDfK7bBA
