Paper proposals for the New Voices in the Profession session at the 2019 ARLIS/NA conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, are still being accepted. This is a great opportunity for those early in their careers to present at a professional conference. The session showcases exceptional academic work by students and new professionals (under 5 years post MLS).

Paper topics should relate strongly to Art and/or Visual Resources Librarianship, but can also include digital library projects, archival work, library instruction, reference and the changing nature of libraries, among other topics. Papers that focus on the conference theme “Arts: In/Site” and highlight art in Utah, site-specific endeavors, vision’s role in librarianship, or insights into new developments within the field will be given special consideration.

To see papers presented in past sessions, please view Conference Proceedings from previous years on the ARLIS website (https://www.arlisna.org/news/conferences). Papers will be selected by representatives from ArLiSNAP and the ARLIS/NA Professional Development Committee in January.
