Solo Special Interest Group

Solo visual information professionals generally have no professional peers within their immediate department. They often serve as the head of the library or visual collection and may have temporary or part-time support staff such as assistants, interns, student workers or volunteers. They are found in all types of GLAM related organizations including special libraries, art and architecture school libraries, museum libraries, branch libraries, academic departments and independent art agencies.

Anyone is welcome to join the Solo Special Interest Group, even if you don’t fit neatly into the description above. Send us an email to receive the link to join our Basecamp.

Our SIG aims to:

  • build community among our members via bi-monthly meetings and Basecamp conversations;

  • maintain a list of our network highlighting areas of strength so we know whom to contact when we need assistance or want to talk through an aspect of our work;

  • share resources; and

  • discuss ways we can advocate for our positions at various levels within our institutions
