Although most art museums possess a library of some kind, these
facilities are often hidden from the public and seldom discussed in
library schools despite the important role they play as substantial
research venues. Co-published with the Art Libraries Society of
North America, Art Museum Libraries and Librarianship serves as an
introduction to the field of art museum librarianship and its
diverse settings. Editor Joan Benedetti has compiled contributions
from practicing art museum librarians to present sixteen chapters
that address the topics of leadership, reader services, automation,
security, cataloging, space planning, collection development,
visual resources, ephemera, special collections, archives,
fundraising, public relations, volunteers and interns, professional
development, and solo librarianship. Each chapter consists of
several essays that deal with the distinct environment of art
museum libraries: from the largest research collections that serve
many curatorial departments and multiple administrative layers to
the smallest solo librarian venues whose unsung staff work in
relative isolation. The book concludes with a collection of brief
institutional profiles, which include statistical and descriptive
information on fifteen diverse art museum libraries in the U.S.,
Canada, and Europe; appendixes that describe academic programs
offering dual degrees in librarianship and art, list international
professional associations for art museum librarians, and provide
sample policies and procedures in use today in art museum
libraries; a bibliography; and an index. Art Museum Libraries and
Librarianship, the first publication of its kind, is illustrated
with over 90 black and white images of art museums, their
libraries, and items from their collections.

In the study of such concepts as fairness and justice, there is a
large gap between the ethics literature (where utilitarianism and
egalitarianism enjoy wide support) and mathematical bargaining
theory (where the Nash bargaining solution has held canonical
status ever since its introduction in 1950). This work analyzes the
rationale upholding each of the three major ways in which the Nash
bargaining solution is justified mathematically (the axiomatic
approach, the alternating offers game and dynamic systems) and
shows that in every case the basic premises leading to the Nash
solution diverge from real-life bargaining scenarios. Furthermore,
the book goes on to show that by correcting these premises, the
utilitarian solution emerges naturally in every case. This analysis
gives for the first time a mathematical model of bargaining that is
applicable to real life, and should therefore interest not only
game theorists and moral philosophers, but also anyone who wants to
navigate any cooperative venture. No prior knowledge in either Game
Theory or Ethics is assumed.
"A Spiritual Travel Guide- Part I" takes you on a journey exploring
the world of God. It is a new approach to the age-old question,
"How can I form a personal connection to a God or Higher Being that
is beyond human comprehension?" It is a handbook for those who
struggle with the concept of God, for those looking for a new
understanding of God, and for those seeking a stronger connection
to God. The "Travel Guide" also provides insights into the ancient
words of the Jewish prayer service, allowing for a more meaningful
worship experience. Whether atheist or believer, "A Spiritual
Travel Guide" offers you modern Jewish ideas and concepts that make
it easier to relate to God and seek out your own personal
spirituality. Embarking on a spiritual journey such as this, can
add meaning to your every day life.
