    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.

    Incorporating Art into Indiana Libraries
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2007) Bodnar, Erica
    This edition of Indiana Libraries examines the ways in which art plays a role in libraries throughout Indiana. In doing so, it addresses questions regarding the role of the art librarian, the issues of bringing art into libraries, and the resources available in art librarianship, among others. Ultimately, this issue should encourage librarians to think of their space and collection in new and creative ways in order to bring art into all types of libraries.

    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 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 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.
