Art Libraries Society of North America
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Art Libraries Society of North America was founded in 1972 at the initiative of Judith Hoffberg by a group of art librarians attending the American Library Association annual conference in Chicago. The founders had perceived a need among art librarians for a separate organization to enable better communication and cooperation among a specialized group of librarians. Inspired by the model of the Art Libraries Society, established in 1969 in the United Kingdom and Ireland, ARLIS/NA was created.
The mission of the organization is to foster excellence in art and design librarianship and image management through activities, such as an annual conference, local area meetings and conferences, publications, and awards for excellence in arts scholarship.
