The following are archival events for September 15-24 as taken from the
Archivist's Daybook <http://www.southwestarchivists.org/HTML/Daybook.htm>.

-----

Sept 15 On this date in 2004, an ordinance went into effect at the
Huntington Public Library, California, that banned cell phone use involving
talking, text messaging, and ringing tones in a public library. The city
ordinance allowed librarians to issue citations on the spot rather than
calling the police. First time offenders will be warned; $250-$500 for
second time, and $1,000 for third time. Yes!!


Sept 15 Deadline for presentation proposals for the conference, "Taking a
Stand: A Conference on Activism in Canadian Cultural Archives." Will be held
June 12-14, 2007, in Ottawa.


Sept 15 Submissions due for the Brenda McCallum Prize, presented by the
American Folklore Society's Archives and Libraries Section for an
exceptional work dealing with folklife archives or the collection,
organization, and management of ethnographic materials.


Sept 17 Constitution Day; United States. Prior to the upholding by the US
Supreme Court of the US Patriot Act in 2001, it was generally believed that
the US Constitution protected the privacy rights of US library and archives
users by shielding library and archival use records from government search
without a warrant. That is a constitutional protection United States
citizens no longer have. See the American Library Association's "Resolution
on the USA Patriot Act and Related Measures that Infringe on the Rights of
Library Users
<http://www.ala.org/ala/washoff/WOissues/civilliberties/theusapatriotact/ala
resolution.htm>."


Sept 18 On this date in 2003, the National Archives of Australia officially
announced the establishment of the Ian Maclean Award, an award to fund
research benefiting the archival profession and promoting the important
contribution that archives make to society. Further information about the
award and stipend can be found on the National Archives of Australia website
<http://www.naa.gov.au>.

The Archivist's Daybook is another service to the profession of the Society
of Southwest Archivists (<http://www.southwestarchivists.org>). In it you
will find information about continuing education and professional
development opportunities for archivists around the world through 2009.

We welcome the opportunity to promote your archival event and especially
encourage non-North American archival meeting planners to list their event
with us (there is, of course, no charge for listing your event in the
Archivist's Daybook). Please help us promote your event by letting us know
