The ARLIS/NA membership has, from its beginnings, included librarians, archivists, visual resource professionals, artists, curators, educators, publishers, as well as students and others interested in visual arts information. They work in many art and architecture venues, large and small, throughout North America: art museums, colleges and universities, art and design schools, public libraries, and corporate offices.[citation needed] Annual conferences and publications, as well as listserv threads feature discussions, presentations, workshops, and other opportunities for specialized professional development interests, such as cataloging, public services, archives, and acquisitions as well as technological trends and social issues of interest to the membership as a whole. Virtual sessions are common, especially since travel was limited during the 2020 COVID-19 global pandemic. For the first time in 48 years, the annual conference, scheduled to meet in 2020 in St. Louis, was cancelled; however some virtual programs, originally planned for St. Louis, were produced instead.[citation needed]

There is a tremendous under-representation of ethnic minorities, in particular, in the library profession. A variety of programs have been developed in individual library schools and within associations (such as those listed below) that provide students with a choice of scholarships and other opportunities to acquire the necessary educational degree. Again, this list is not comprehensive but rather representative.
