The Birth of ArLiSNAP

It is absolutely essential to formally introduce a new resource that is directed toward Art Library Society members who are library students or new professionals, in the U.S., Canada, or abroad. Bloggers on ArLiSNAP discuss relevant hot topics in the field, announce upcoming conferences and events, as well as job postings. Keeping with current technology, the arlis-student Listserv members felt it necessary to convert to a blog to “streamline” the lines of communication on these topics of interest. It is, in my opinion, a more effective medium to communicate these various issues, and for that reason it is replacing the Arlis-Student Listserv.

This librarian’s world

Hello all! As a new librarian, I am starting this blog in order to focus on, and bring attention to, my specific interests on art and visual resources librarianship, which are my ultimate career goals. The evolution of visual resources collections from analog to digital cannot be ignored, so some of the content here will reflect my intention to learn as much as possible about the management of digital assets in a visual resources collection. Currently, I am spending much of my time searching for a full-time position, so the development of this blog will be slow-moving (like molasses in January).
