| Summary: | "Art Museum Libraries and Librarianship serves as an introduction to the field of art museum librarianship and its diverse settings. Sixteen chapters address - from the point of view of practicing art museum libraries - leadership, reader services, automation, security, cataloging, space planning, collection development, visual resources, ephemera, special collections, archives, fund-raising, public relations, volunteers and interns, professional development, and solo librarianship. Each chapter includes essays written by librarians in the field that deal with the unique environment of art museum libraries, from the largest research collections that serve many curatorial departments and multiple administrative layers to the smallest solo-librarian settings where staff work in relative isolation."--Jacket. |
