SLA - Architecture, Building Engineering, Construction, and Design Caucus

Welcome!
Thank you for visiting the website for the Architecture, Building Engineering, Construction and Design (ABCD) Caucus.

Mission
This caucus serves as a forum for Information Professionals who work in the Architecture, Building Engineering, Construction and Design industries.

History
Dennis Hamilton, our first Convener, was involved in a group called the Association of Architectural Librarians (AAL), which was tied closely with the American Institute of Architects (AIA). In 2000, financial support diminished and the AAL ceased to exist.
At SLA's 2004 Annual Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, Dennis approached other SLA members and decided there was enough interest to form a caucus. He did all the necessary work with SLA Headquarters and, at the 2006 Annual Conference in Baltimore, we had our official first meeting. At the '07 conference in Denver, approximately twenty of us met to discuss the future. I volunteered to be the Convener and Alexa Hackbarth volunteered to be the Webmaster.

Today
We are excited about revitalizing the group and were very encouraged by the turnout at the caucus meeting at the 2008 conference in Seattle. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and/or suggestions.

Thanks,
Karen Stauber
ABCD Caucus Convener
