Solo Art Information Professionals SIG

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, archivists, 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.
