Returning for an eighth year, the New Voices in the Profession panel provides new Art Librarianship and Visual Resources professionals the opportunity to present topics from exceptional coursework, such as a master's thesis, or topics with which they are engaged early in their professional life. New professionals are defined as either students in MLIS or Master's programs leading to a career in librarianship or visual resources, or those 5 years post Master's level study. For many, this is their first professional speaking engagement.

This panel began at the ARLIS/NA 2006 conference in Banff and has received wide attention and praise since. Topics presented reveal new ideas, as well as different ways of thinking about established concepts, and give the conference attendees a glimpse of the academic interests and current discourses of the newest ARLIS/NA members. The New Voices session is organized by the Professional Development Committee, ArLiSNAP, and the Gerd Muehsam Award Committee.
