Abstract of Paper (200 words max)
Accepted Session Description: As art information professions evolve, we look to understand our work and patrons through a diversity of voices, experiences, and
approaches. Although LIS scholarship reflects a multidisciplinary approach to research, much of the existing literature focuses on traditional qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The turn towards autoethnography, creative interventions to library work,
and the utilization of non-traditional information sources enriches our practices and our own body of knowledge. This panel will explore the application of non-traditional research sources and methodologies in art information scholarship. As such, the panel
moderators will encourage potential panelists to take as broad an interpretation of this topic as possible, and will welcome submissions from a variety of contexts, career stages, and projects. Panelists can discuss new ways of approaching the literature of
art librarianship or visual literacy, the application of autoethnography and reflective practices in art information work, creative and studio practice in relation to library work, and other approaches.
With thanks,
Michele
