We regret to inform you that ARLIS/NA will not be holding its 48th Annual Conference in St. Louis, MO because of the serious health risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this interactive session the Art & Design School Libraries report research team will offer an update on their progress, detail steps for the future, and invite input. In March 2019, the ARLIS/NA board tasked the Art & Design School Libraries Division with following in the steps of the Academic and Museum Divisions in developing a report detailing the state of art libraries and art librarianship in the specific realm of art and design school libraries. The final report is due to be presented in Spring of 2021 at the annual ARLIS/NA conference, and this session is an opportunity for members to learn about preliminary findings and participate in discussions that will help direct the next phases of the report. The research team, in collaboration with the Advocacy & Public Policy Committee, will also be looking for volunteers to help with future reading and edits, as well as nominations for schools that could be the subject of case studies. Please join us to learn more about this exciting project and find out how to get involved.
