The New Art Museum Library addresses the issues facing today's art
museum libraries through a series of scholarly essays written by
top librarians in the field. In 2007, the publication, Art Museum
Libraries and Librarianship, edited by Joan Benedetti, was the
first to solely focus on the field of art museum librarianship. In
the decade since then, many changes have occurred in the
field--both technological and ideological--prompting the need for a
follow-up publication. In addition to representing current thinking
and practice, this new publication also addresses the need to
clearly articulate and define the art museum library's value within
its institution. It documents the broad changes in the environment
that art museum libraries now function within and to celebrate the
many innovative initiatives that are flourishing in this new
landscape. Librarians working in art museum face unique challenges
as museums redefine what object-based, visitor-centric learning
looks like in the 21st century. These unique challenges mean that
art museum libraries are developing new strategies and initiatives
so that they can continue to thrive in this environment. The unique
nature of these initiatives mean that they will be useful to
librarians working in a wide range of special libraries, as well as
more broadly in academic and public libraries. The New Art Museum
Library is uniquely positioned to present new strategies and
initiatives including digital art history initiatives, the new
norms in art museum library staffing, and the public programing
priorities that are core to many art museum libraries today.
