I have some questions regarding library practices in
collecting local artist files.
I have inherited files on local artists that probably
have not been updated for ten years. I am interested
in obtaining new artist information to add to the
collection and eventually put a searchable artist file
index on our library web page.
1. Do you actively recruit artist's information? If
so, how? Newspaper clipping, go to gallery shows,
etc.
2. Are there many public librarians out there that
also maintain artist files?
Thanks for the input!
