This article presents the results of a quantitative empirical study on the information needs and sources of Arab visual artists as they engage in creative work and associated tasks. The study was conducted using an online survey published in three languages—English, French, and Arabic. The survey was completed by seventy-two artists from several Arab countries. It was designed using the methodology from William Hemmig’s 2009 study, and the convergences and divergences between both studies are presented. The analysis of demographic data allowed the authors to establish that the distribution of sources also varied depending on the population’s age and gender. The results of this study are both theoretical—through the replication and the comparison of two studies—and practical—through the possibility of providing recommendations to Arab art institutions and libraries.

Between 2018 and 2020, the author had the opportunity to work in two arts-focused libraries as part of a Library Practicum program at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity and through the Kress Fellowship in Art Librarianship at the Robert B. Haas Arts Library, Yale University. These two work experiences provided the opportunity to implement pilots of two studio visit programs with the populations that each library supports. During the studio visits, the author met with artists, musicians, curators, visual art practicum participants, and Yale School of Art graduate students to learn about their research interests and provide direct reference support in their studios. This article presents both pilot case studies, reviews current literature on embedded librarianship practices related to the visual arts, discusses the similarities and differences that emerged, and outlines recommendations for those interested in offering similar studio visit programs.

Henry Clay Frick (1849–1919), known primarily as a wealthy businessman, industrialist, and art collector, was also a book collector who spent his precious resources of time and money accumulating a gentleman’s library that is now on display alongside his art at The Frick Collection in Manhattan. Through original archival research, staff interviews, and examination of secondary sources, this article gives a brief look into the provenance of Mr. Frick’s library, his level of involvement in the collecting practices, and how it was used by members of the Frick family and Frick Collection staff.

Over the past five decades, the definition of visual literacy has been expanded and reshaped, yet there was no single resource that brought together these years of important research. To fill this gap, the author created Recommended Reads for Visual Literacy, a bibliography of recent articles, historical books, and archival collections that serves as a detailed web resource for visual literacy. This project seeks to empower the current research community and to encourage art librarians and visual resources curators to explore the existing literature on visual literacy to inform their knowledge base and instruction practices. In this article, the author describes the process of creating the bibliography, its limitations, and next steps for the project.

The author shares how the weaving of multiple professional roles culminated in the creation of the Artist Bibliography Book Display, a display that features the research of artists exhibiting in the art department gallery that the art librarian co-directs. The article describes the development of the Artist Bibliography Book Display, discusses the artwork and bibliographies of select artists who exhibit in the space, analyzes the book display as a pedagogical tool in the teaching of research to art students through the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education, and discusses teaching with and the curating of books. [This article is an expansion of a paper presented at the ARLIS/NA Southeast Conference held in Tallahassee, Florida, in November 2019.]

Students can develop the research skills outlined in the ARLIS/NA Art, Architecture, and Design Information Competencies through the process of editing content on Wikipedia. This article situates the competencies for art and design students within the literature on information literacy and the applications of Wikipedia in the college classroom. With a focus on art history, the art information competencies are mapped to the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education and implemented in one-shot instruction sessions. Inspired by the success of the Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thons, the author demonstrates how art librarians can build upon the success of these events and outreach initiatives to incorporate Wikipedia into information literacy instruction for art history students.

In the twenty-first century, art librarians wear many hats: they are collectors, curators, hardware specialists, programmers, researchers, social media managers, social workers, teachers, technology experts, and writers. As collection and staff budgets dwindle, the skill set of art librarians is rapidly expanding. New tools are needed to keep up with the field as it moves away from traditional priorities—subject knowledge, foreign language proficiency, and professional tasks such as cataloging, indexing, abstracting, and collecting—and toward new ways of connecting with patrons and communities. This article examines the current skills needed by art librarians, with an emphasis on academic librarianship, and offers insights for individuals pursuing careers in art librarianship.

Over the past century, artists around the globe increasingly have turned to hybrid art practices, incorporating elements of action with static forms. Looking at a variety of works by contemporary artists, this article reviews the institutional factors that affect the cataloging of hybrid artwork, from the structure of collecting departments to the theories behind database management. Two standards for the management of cultural databases—FRBR and CDWA—are explored for potential non-hierarchical approaches to registration and records.

Before textual literacy became common, humans used images to communicate meaning and provide context. John Debes defined this type of communication as visual literacy. As technology advanced, allowing for quick access to images, teaching shifted from lecture-based learning to the use of images to develop communication, memory, and critical thinking skills. The author describes her study of publishing patterns in visual literacy and education in different disciplines at all grade levels. The article also presents examples of how numerous disciplines utilize images to teach visual literacy in the classroom.

This article is an inquiry into the presentation and organization of digitized materials and analogous records from artists’ archives on the web. Traditionally, artists’ archives have been described hierarchically with finding aids—text-based documents detailing contents of collections, boxes, and analog folders. The ubiquity of the web and prevalence of digitization has disrupted hierarchical arrangement associated with archival description and shifted researchers’ expectations of access to records. This shift has affected modes of presentation and dissemination of such information resources. The author examines timely examples of digitized artists’ archives and similar resources, including the Asia Art Archive, the Russian Art Archive Network, the Artist Archives Initiative, and the Archives of American Art. [This article is a revision of the paper that won the 2020 Gerd Muehsam Award. The award recognizes excellence in a paper written by a graduate student on a topic relevant to art librarianship or visual resources curatorship.]
