    The Architecture Library at Ball State University
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2007) Trendler, Amy E.
    Ball State University’s Architecture Library is a branch library that supports the students and faculty of the College of Architecture and Planning (CAP) as well as the larger university community. The Architecture Library is located on the ground floor of the Architecture Building, which also houses the college’s studios, faculty offices, and facilities. The importance of this location for a student population that spends a great deal of its time “in studio” cannot be overstated.

    Art and Indiana Libraries
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2007) Spencer, Rhonda
    The library has always been a place for me to discover art. Simple, bright, exquisite drawings adorned the stacks of books I carried home as a young child. Our public library had framed art prints available to check out. My bedroom walls were a rotating art gallery thanks to the public library. Exhibit cases introduced me to beauty from around the world. My world (of a county seat town of 25,000 people) was expanded because of the library, and because of the role of art in the library. My college library continued to support the role of art in my life. I was a Fine Arts major, and my senior class art exhibit was set up on display in the college library. Reading, studying and enjoying art books continues in my life, and I am glad for art libraries, and art librarians.

    Art in the Indiana State University Library: Why Have Original Artworks in an Academic Library?
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2007) Jinbo, Carol; Mehrens, Christopher E. (Christopher Emile)
    Why have original artworks in an academic library? One could very well pose the question; doesn’t original art work belong in a museum rather than in a library? In answer to this question, we would respond that one of the primary goals of the Indiana State University Library is to provide a welcoming atmosphere and that “fine art” contributes to this environment. More importantly, we want to have an environment that is conducive to creativity and intellectual endeavor.

    Art in the IUPUI University Library
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2007) Lewis, David W.; Schmidt, Steven J.
    The IUPUI University Library opened in the summer of 1992; the people visiting it were impressed with its limestone, dolomite and glass construction and with the towering three story atrium that soared above the central lobby. But after living with the building for a number of years, we felt that several things were lacking. First, we needed some artwork to match the scale of the building, and second the facility needed a few more places to sit in the lobby.

    Art Reference: A Study
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2007) Graham, Mary
    Among the overwhelming amount of resources available in the arts, it is difficult to identify the most relevant and valuable information. It is the intent of this paper to highlight quality resources for both artists’ books and miniature books from the viewpoint of professional librarians in Indiana. This paper reports on the perceived value of reference sources. Based on the findings of this study a better understanding of the value of the tools reference librarians use will be gained.

    Changes and Issues in an Art Museum Library
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2007) Kolmstetter, Ursula
    There are different kinds of libraries on the visual arts - art school libraries, divisions in college and university libraries, divisions within a public library, gallery libraries, museum libraries, and others. In this article, I will focus on the Stout Library of the Indianapolis Museum of Art and its development in the last decade. It is a good example of the development of museum libraries in general.

    Changes and Transitions in a Cultural Museum Library: Moving From Supporting Museum Staff to Providing Services to the General Public
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2007) Jansen, Catharine
    On June 10th 2005 the Stephen & Sharon Zimmerman Resource Center and the Watanabe Family Library opened their doors to the public, as part of the new Nina Mason Pulliam Education Center at the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art. For the library, this event meant the end of a rather protracted journey and the beginning of a new adventure.
