Subject: LARCH-L information
In response to a request (and good list management practice), here is the
blurb about LArch-L.  -- Jim Palmer
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.  LArch-L offers 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
    *  obtaining instructional materials--slides, plant samples, etc.
3.  Share information with your colleagues:
    *  student internship opportunities
    *  job postings
    *  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:
     [email-masked]
that only says:
     SUBSCRIBE  LARCH-L  your first and last name
If you want to receive all the correspondence for the day in one article
(i.e. a digest), send a line that says:
      SET LARCH-L DIG
