Art librarianship education traditionally exposes students to specialized knowledge of resources, users, and issues unique to the profession, providing a strong foundation for career success. Yet education comprises not only what subjects are covered, but how the subject is taught, and why. This article describes an online art librarianship course designed with feminist and critical pedagogy principles guiding content, structure, and communication, taught through Indiana University in 2018. The author discusses and evaluates course design and pedagogy and provides a perspective on how feminist and critical pedagogy can frame art librarianship to promote the profession and strengthen its future.

Visual literacy is a set of skills that enable an individual to search, analyze, interact, and create images and media through a critical lens. In preparing post-secondary students for the media-saturated information environment of the twenty-first century, it is important that educators promote visual literacy by encouraging interpretations and discussions of the social, cultural, technological and historical, contexts of images and media. This article offers a brief review of literature regarding pedagogical practice in using the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL)’s Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education and a case study of how these skills can be developed for undergraduate students in a 2000-honors-level sociology course taught by a faculty-librarian partnership through the Fine Arts Library at the University of Arkansas.

This article presents the results of a survey and three case studies, all of which address questions and issues regarding the use of social media in art library environments. While the authors provide perspectives specifically from academic, museum, and art and design school libraries, their findings will also interest those working in galleries, other types of libraries, archives, and museums (GLAM institutions). The authors discuss crafting an institutional social media presence, methods for evaluating outreach efforts, and approaches for developing policies, guidelines, and strategic goals that ensure a productive use of social media tools. Best practices for increasing awareness and promoting collections are also presented. [This article is an expansion of a lightning talk session presented at the ARLIS/NA conference held in New York, New York, in March 2018.]

The 1976 Copyright Act outlines the criteria for protecting artists’ original creative work. Where ephemeral, performative works are concerned, the Copyright Act provides no clear guide to direct an institution’s right to display and maintain performance works in its collection. Knowing what the law provides and where the law is limited allows museums to navigate appropriate means of presenting ephemeral works of art. It is essential that collecting institutions work with artists to define material properties of their ephemeral works of art and decide upon appropriate means of display and maintenance for the future. [This article is a revision of the paper that won the 2019 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.]

As an interwoven case study, this article examines the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA) George Wittenborn Memorial Book Award, a hybrid award that celebrates the scholarly achievement, design, and production excellence of art publications. In the award’s history, however, it has not credited the contributions of graphic designers, typesetters, printers, and other creative laborers. The author examines these omissions by analyzing citation structures and systems of description shared by publishers, booksellers, and libraries, as well as by exposing the invisibilities so often allied to graphic design. A revision of the Wittenborn Award bibliography is proposed as a retrospective corrective to these oversights.

This case study describes the use of Instagram by a fashion librarian at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Irene Lewisohn Costume Reference Library (part of The Costume Institute). In a little over three years, @costumeinstitutelibrary gained over 40,000 followers and has received many accolades from the press. Instagram has been a successful medium for international outreach and advocacy of this specialized museum reference library, as well as an increasingly popular tool for reference inquiries when working with non-academic patrons with backgrounds in creative and fashion-related fields. The author reviews best practices, provides examples on how @costumeinstitutelibrary utilized the latest Instagram features and tools, recommends subscription-based social media analytics metric tools, describes free photo imaging tools used to create a consistent visual feed, and explains the behind-the-scenes workflow for this particular Instagram feed within the context of a museum departmental library.

The National Digital Stewardship Residency in Art Information (NDSR Art) project at the Philadelphia Museum of Art titled “Planning for Time-Based Media Artwork Preservation” was a year-long initiative to research the collecting, care, and conservation needs of the museum’s time-based media art (TBMA) collection. In this article, the authors describe the work of the NDSR Art resident and her host mentor that entailed establishing digital storage space, creating and implementing a disk-imaging workflow for the artworks’ born-digital components, and developing more robust collections records. Ultimately, the project produced a foundation of knowledge and documentation to inform museum staff about the best practices and standards necessary to build an infrastructure that fully supports the unique preservation needs of TBMA.

In 2017, the Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia) joined the National Digital Stewardship Residency for Art Information (NDSR Art) inaugural cohort, hosting a project focused on preservation and stewardship of Mia’s time-based media art, part of the museum’s permanent collections and distinct from its library and archival materials. Post-residency, Mia’s resident and project team members from the museum’s Library & Archives and Collections Information Management departments revisited the project, considering the overlaps and divergences between museum, library, and archival approaches to digital preservation and stewardship. Each offered a unique perspective and reflections on their professional practices.

The article outlines the initiative and the benefits and challenges of this form of outreach. The author uses examples from the project to explore the potential influence librarians may have on non-departmental campus relationships, library marketing, and collection development.

Despite his international reputation and storied career, the work of letterpress printer Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr. has never received sustained scholarly analysis. This article parses Kennedy’s rhetoric, placing his choices and work in the context of the Black American print tradition that animates it. The self-identified “humble negro printer’s” life is indelibly influenced by the institutions of twentieth-century Black American racial uplift, including the Civil Rights movement and historically black colleges and universities.
