A policy for the development of collections in museum art libraries in the United States
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 June 2016
Abstract
This paper examines the problem of the formulation and implementation of a collection development policy in museum art libraries in the United States.
While there is literature on acquisition policy in academic and public libraries, there is nothing specific on museum art libraries. Because of the proliferation of art literature and budget restrictions it is of paramount importance for museum art libraries to formulate and follow a collection development policy. Once this is presented to the museum administration, the latter will better understand the library’s functions and will recognise its vital role both within the institution and outside.
