Co-published with the Art Libraries Society of North America, \u003ci\u003eArt Museum Libraries and Librarianship\u003c\/i\u003e serves as an introduction to the field of art museum librarianship and its diverse settings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEditor Joan Benedetti has compiled contributions from practicing art museum librarians to present sixteen chapters that address the topics of leadership, reader services, automation, security, cataloging, space planning, collection development, visual resources, ephemera, special collections, archives, fundraising, public relations, volunteers and interns, professional development, and solo librarianship. Each chapter consists of several essays that deal with the distinct environment of art museum libraries: from the largest research collections that serve many curatorial departments and multiple administrative layers to the smallest solo librarian venues whose unsung staff work in relative isolation. The book concludes with a collection of brief institutional profiles, which include statistical and descriptive information on fifteen diverse art museum libraries in the U.S., Canada, and Europe; appendixes that describe academic programs offering dual degrees in librarianship and art, list international professional associations for art museum librarians, and provide sample policies and procedures in use today in art museum libraries; a bibliography; and an index. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eArt Museum Libraries and Librarianship\u003c\/i\u003e, the first publication of its kind, is illustrated with over 90 black and white images of art museums, their libraries, and items from their collections.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoan M.
