ArLiSNAP is made possible by its team of dedicated volunteers. We are always happy to welcome more people to help our little community grow. Volunteers play essential roles in our group, and have the opportunity to network and support their fellow members. Getting involved in ArLiSNAP is a great way to show your dedication to the field of art librarianship! Below are some of the ways in which you can help out.
These positions are flexible; if you commit to watch for job postings, but are moved to write a discussion post, we encourage that wholeheartedly!
