Item Changes and Issues in an Art Museum Library(H.W. Wilson Company, 2007) Kolmstetter, UrsulaThere 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.Item Fort Wayne Area Artists: http://artists.acpl.info/(H.W. Wilson Company, 2007) Saff, NancyAfter years of dreaming and a year and a half of planning, Fort Wayne Area Artists went live to the public on January 31, 2005.Item Indiana Libraries: Indiana Library Federation Professional Journal Advertising Reservation Form(H.W. Wilson Company, 2007) Indiana LibrariesItem Discussion Questions(H.W. Wilson Company, 2007) Indiana LibrariesItem 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.Item "Imag-ing Our Foremothers": Art as a Means of Promoting Information Literacy(H.W. Wilson Company, 2007) Palmer, Kristi L.In February 2005, a group of twenty IUPUI history students gathered in the lounge of University Library to paint a semester’s worth of research. The 4’ x 6’ mural that graces the walls of the 2nd floor corridor of the IUPUI Business/SPEA building is the final product of a multi-faceted research project rooted in librarian-taught information literacy skills. During a year long workshop for librarians interested in becoming more dynamically involved with learners’ acquisition, application, and retention of information literacy skills, an art related experience entitled Imag-ing Our Foremothers: Art as a Means of Connecting with Women’s History was conceived. The project had four major goals and two distinct components.Item Trends for Academic Art Libraries: The Herron Art Library -- Driving Digital Content(H.W. Wilson Company, 2007) Staum, SonjaTraditionally, as librarians in academic art libraries our roles have been to collect, organize, and provide access to art-related information in print and non-print formats such as books, journals, picture files, 35 mm slides, and video. Our content development efforts were focused towards developing and managing collections of content that met the research and instruction needs of our library’s primary clientele, the faculty and students. Today’s rapid changes imposed upon our profession by technology and higher education are pushing art librarians and libraries into new and varied roles that expand our everyday jobs and embrace new responsibilities related to scholarly communication, preservation and stewardship of digital collections.Item Resources for Art in Online Government Information(H.W. Wilson Company, 2007) Morrison, Andrea Marie, 1957-Government information in paper and digital formats is a rich resource for fine art, graphic art and images for library users. Over the history of our country, U.S. federal and state governments published artwork, illustrations, graphics, maps, photographs, posters, portraits and illustrations, and now much of this artwork can be accessed through digital collections. There is usually no charge to access this information and very few copyright restrictions. Indiana state government information provides a wealth of artwork relating to our state, both current and historical. This article will discuss the type of art available in online government information and describes selected exemplary resources issued by the U.S. federal and Indiana state governments. Only some of the vast wealth of resources will be highlighted. Art resources inspiring to children will be included. Hopefully, this introduction to artwork in online government information will inspire librarians from all kinds of libraries to refer to this information regularly.Item From Lantern Slides to Image Presentation Systems: A Discipline in Transition(H.W. Wilson Company, 2007) Fry, Eileen (P. Eileen)Few corporate announcements have had the effect on entire academic disciplines that Eastman Kodak’s 2003 decision to stop manufacturing slide projectors had on Art History. The known world of sideby-side slide projection, large luminous images, well-organized institutional collections, last-minute lecture preparation, excellent commercial suppliers, and easy in-house production to support even the most specialized of topics seemed on the verge of sinking like Atlantis into a sea of unknown digital waters.Item Art and Indiana Libraries(H.W. Wilson Company, 2007) Spencer, RhondaThe 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.
