Dear Colleagues,
For those of you planning to attend ARLIS/NA + VRA in Seattle next March, consider joining the meeting of the Solo Art Information Professionals Special Interest Group. The meeting is scheduled for
Thursday March 10th in the Olympic Room. I have included our Statement of Purpose below.
ARLIS/NA Solo Art Information Professionals Special Interest Group
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The Solo Art Information Professionals Special Interest Group acts as a platform for discussion for ARLIS/NA members who are solo professionals. Solo art information professionals are librarians or visual
resource curators who have no professional peers within their immediate department. They often serve as the head of the library or visual collection and may have support staff such as assistants, interns, or volunteers. They are found in all types of organizations
including special libraries, art and architecture school libraries, museum libraries, branch libraries, and independent art agencies. For solo professionals, ARLIS/NA provides a crucial means to connect with the wider community. This special interest group
enables solo professionals to discuss the issues, challenges, and opportunities unique to their positions.
