Thank you for reading this email and considering taking part in a survey conducted about 21^st century skills sets needed by Art Librarians.  This is the final email you will receive about taking this survey. This research study is being conducted by Megan Lotts, Art Librarian, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and the initial results will be presented at the ARLIS UK & Ireland annual conference in July 2019 in Glasgow, Scotland. 

Abstract: In the 21^st century Art Librarians wear many hats such as, collectors, curators, hardware specialists, programmers, researchers, social media managers, social workers, teachers, technology support, writers, as well as sometimes providing candy and tissues to students, faculty, and staff in times of need. As collection and staff budgets are dwindling, the skill sets of Art Librarians are widely expanding as the field continues to move away from the traditional ideas of subject background, foreign language proficiencies, and professional studies such as cataloging, indexing, and abstracting.

This paper will briefly look at the history of Art Librarianship, discuss the current skill sets needed by Art Librarians in higher education, and provide insight for future students pursuing a career in Art Librarianship. The methodology includes a national survey of art librarian skills sets in the 21^st century, as well as a series of one on one interviews with Art Librarians working in college and university libraries.
