About the air we breathe. About the water we drink. About the destruction of our natural envi­ ronment. And all the time we arc talking, debating, reading, and writing about pollution- great Texas landmarks arc being destroyed and defaced. Architec­ turally significant homes arc being torn down in one community after another. Complete cityscapes arc being pem1anently scarred-as we plunge headlong into the future. If historic preservation h, to be a significant and meaningful factor in shaping our total environment. the emphasis must be on finding innovative and creative alternatives to destruction. We must have preservation with a purpose. We must develop adaptive uses for landmarks which will serve our current lifestyle. It has been my thought for some time that the Texas Society of Architects should take the lead in finding adaptive uses for our historically and architectur­ ally important structures. No profession is more ideally suited to take the lead in thb movement. Too often. architects arc actually the ones who recommend the destruction of important landmarks instead of finding innovative uses which will insure their preservation. Architects can show their clients how important landmarks arc structurally sound, visually appealing. and on numerous occasions, meet the criteria for conserving energy due to the excellent manner in which they were constructed. Older structures generally offer spatial arrangements that can be adapted to a wide ranges of uses, including professional offices, shops. stores, and even larger commercial facilities. The Texas Society of Architects could set an excellent example by purchasing and restoring one of the important architectural landmarks in Austin for use as their state office. By doing thb, they could show other organi,ations, individu­ als, and local government!-. the practicality of recycling important Mructures. I would hate for succeeding generations to say that during the I 960's and 70' s, this generation tore down more important Mructures in a 20 year span than it took an entire nation more than 200 years to build. I would also hate for future generation!> to SU} that we devoted our expertise to the recycling of tin cans. but could not recycle our landmarks. We have reached the point today when preservation is no longer synonymous with museums or with someone trying to reproduce the past. Preservation has come to mean the continuation of the best architectural and human qualities of both rural and urban life. When we lose an important landmark. we lose more than an old building. We lose the memory of what has been. We lose our sense of the past, the most visible evidence of our heritage.

    ARLIS/NA Texas-Mexico Chapter Fall Meeting October 18-20, 2019 Houston, TX Research Roundtable Visual Literacy Is Information Literacy: Active Learning Helps Students Teach Themselves to Evaluate Images and Their Sources Shari Salisbury, Reference Librarian / Subject Specialist for Art & Art History, The University of Texas at San Antonio Students in art and art history are often asked by professors to use an image of an artwork in an assignment. In art history this may be for the purpose of formal analysis and research on its art historical context. In studio arts this may be for the purpose of inspiration or to use as an example to copy style or technique for their own art project. Some professors report that students are not careful to find good, representative art reproductions when given such an assignment. Working with art faculty teaching Drawing I at the University of Texas at San Antonio, the art librarian developed an active learning activity that aligns with standard four of the ACRL Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education, “The visually literate student evaluates images and their sources” and the first frame of the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education, “Authority is Constructed and Contextual.” Using prompts provided by the librarian in class, students teach themselves through individual investigation and group discussion that evaluating images also means evaluating their sources, which is foundational not only for visual literacy, but also for information literacy.

The procedural processing of the authorization of the restoration plan is partially regulated, setting specific guidelines, and some novelties, creating some problems in its implementation. Some Autonomous Communities maintain in force the own regulations of mining restoration prior to this royal decree, applying in what does not object to the provisions of this State rule, and in others have subsequently been adopted provisions that have regulated some aspects of the authorisation procedure.
