The ARLISmatters blog aims to be "a current awareness bulletin for anyone working in, or with an interest in, art, architecture and design libraries and archives." This blog is a publication of the Arts Library Society (ARLIS) of the United Kingdom and Ireland, an organization established in 1969 (Arts Library Society North American, or ARLIS/NA, was founded three years later in 1972.) While some of the information and conferences included here are aimed specifically at professionals in the UK and Ireland, other resources will have a broader appeal to anyone in the fields of art librarianship or art history. For example, the In Conversation With series features short interviews with art librarians of all stripes. Meanwhile, Artists' Book News, published every two months, provides short synopses of recently published art books. Visitors will also find assorted news of interested in the Resources section, including reviews of books on publishing and library work; new journals; and new online resources of interest. The ARLISmatters podcast was also recently launched in April 2017.
