- LArch-L: An Electronic Forum for Landscape Architecture
-
- The LArch-L is dedicated to the academic needs of landscape architecture. It
- is anticipated that LArch-L will become a forum for a wide range of topics and
- serve a diverse group interested in landscape architecture. The CELA Board
- has heartily endorsed LArch-L as a vehicle to increase communications and
- create an effective network among those interested in Landscape Architecture
- education and research. Examples of possible uses for LArch-L are:
-
- 1. Discuss issues and ideas of interest to landscape architects, such as:
- * journal articles
- * current events
- * the 'theoretical foundations' of landscape architecture
- * the nature and appropriateness of LA education
- * how to fulfill our ethical and social responsibilities
-
- 2. Listserv's offer an opportunity to ask for help and/or advice from a
- broader cross section of landscape architects than is represented at any
- one institution:
- * questions about new technologies and/or products
- * finding previous research on topics of interest
- * comments regarding research ideas
- * experience with approaches to instruction
- * obtain instructional materials--slides, plant samples, etc.
-
- 3. Share information with your colleagues:
- * student internship opportunities
- * job postings
- * conference announcements and calls for papers
- * reviews of books/texts
- * posting grant announcements or RFPs
-
- 4. Develop collaborative projects and opportunities such as:
- * grant funding
- * set up tours for foreign visitors--or yourself
- * low cost comparative studies
- * joint studios
-
- 5. Provide a forum where we can effectively represent identify, discuss, and
- act on our common interests:
- * review current and proposed legislation--and start letter writing
- campaigns
- * debate the value of accreditation criteria and their relation to
- licensure
-
- LArch-L only requires access to Bitnet or Internet--it is otherwise free. It
- is an unedited electronic forum open to all comers--therefore it is whatever
- we make of it. To become a member, simply send an email message to:
-
- LISTSERV@SUVM.ACS.SYR.EDU
