Reviews for The Handbook of Art and Design Librarianship

'The effect of the book is a clear assertion of the role of libraries and their staff, not just as service providers but as educators, helping to develop information literacy, using technology in a reflective, tailored and nuanced way. Indeed, the emphasis on teaching and learning may be particularly useful to archivists in terms of articulating our own objectives and potential contribution to these areas.'- Sue Breakell, University of Brighton Design Archives, Archives and Records * Archives and Records * Those who are just beginning in the field or who have recently accepted an administrative level position will most likely find high value in the Handbook in its entirety, as even the more general topics can help them to understand their roles. The book includes a list of contributors and their institutions at the beginning and expands upon this information in an appendix entitled library profiles (of the authors) divided into four categories: art and design school libraries, academic branch libraries, academic department-based libraries, and main academic libraries supporting art and design curricula...The Handbook of Art and Design Librarianship, second edition, would be a welcome addition to any library that fits the criteria of one of the four types described above as well as those supporting graduate programs in library and information science. -- Janis L. DesMarais * College & Research Libraries * The fact that this book is in its second edition is an indication of its necessity and importance...The chapters discuss topics such as governance and administration, the liaison model, accreditation, visual resources from collection to preservation, artists' books, teaching within the ACRL Framework, metaliteracy, art history research, cultural differences, art librarianship and scholarly communication, creating and renovating library spaces, marketing, and social media, to name a few. The appendix contains a number of profiles and descriptions of art and design libraries around the world. This book is essential for any librarian whose duties include these subject areas. -- Bradford Lee Eden * ARBA * Now in a second edition with new chapters, The Handbook of Art and Design Librarianship, second edition is an anthology of scholarly essays by a diversity of learned authors written especially for information professionals who operate in art and design environments, and who aid and need to anticipate the needs of artists, designers, architects, and art historians. Individual writings include Accreditation and visual arts libraries , Seeing the bigger picture: archival description of visual information , Cultural differences and information literary competencies , Website strategies for art and design libraries , and much more. The Handbook of Art and Design Librarianship is a must-have for experts in the field, highly recommended. * Midwest Book Review *
