Meet the challenge of operating a successful art library! The
Twenty-First Century Art Librarian examines the unique challenges
and vital administrative issues that are at the forefront of
current art librarianship. Librarians working in a variety of
settings (art, academics, architecture, visual resources, and
museums) address professional change and technological challenges,
including inadequate staffing and the need to wear multiple hats to
cope with day-to-day responsibilities. The book focuses on common
practices in the field as well as the individuals who work in art
libraries and the collections they maintain. Instead of the
standard primer on art librarianship, this book is an insightful
look at how art librarians are unique in terms of the clientele
they serve, their subject knowledge, and the variety of
environments in which they work. The Twenty-First Century Art
Librarian examines pressing everyday issues, including operational
management, staff recruitment and training, managing collections,
public service and patrons, and developing a personal care plan.
The Twenty-First Century Art Librarian also addresses
setting-specific topics, such as: developing staffing standards at
all levels working solo in small art museum libraries integrating
digitization into visual resource libraries handling special
collections in architecture libraries how culture and mission
distinguish academic art libraries from their museum counterparts
and much more! The Twenty-First Century Art Librarian provides
library professionals and academics with a unique look at current
trends in art, architecture, and visual resources librarianship.
