The ARLIS/NA 38th Annual Conference in Boston, MA (April 23-26, 2010) will explore revolution and innovation within art librarianship and visual resources librarianship as new technologies, economic changes and other factors transform our profession.  Rapid change creates opportunities to embrace new ways of exploring the issues librarians face daily.  How have you responded to the changes in the information landscape?  What innovative methods have you developed to resolve the problems that have arisen from all these new developments?  How have collaborations amongst colleagues, peers, institutions and more changed how you work?
 
Individuals are invited to submit proposals for papers that provoke critical exchange and debate as well as practical advice and solutions in relation to the broad thematic areas referred to below. Submissions are encouraged that support opportunities for interaction between participants and enable the conference to engage in a truly interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and viewpoints.
