Cultural heritage and creation: acquiring, cataloguing and promoting livres d’artistes in French public libraries
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 June 2016
Abstract
The term ‘livres d’artistes’ hides from view creative artworks, whose presence in special library collections is justified by their artistic and literary value but also by their value as witness of their times. After defining the content of these collections, this article analyses the way ‘livres d’artistes’ are managed. Because they are different from all other books, they struggle to find their public. Active promotion is thus an essential step in making them properly influential.
