Dear Annamaria, You may already be familiar with this publication, but if you are not, I would recommend Collection Development Policies for Libraries & Visual Collections in the Arts, compiled by Ann Baird Whiteside, Pamela Born, and Adeane Alpert Bregman (Laguna Beach, Calif.: Art Libraries Society of North America, 2000). Each section addresses a type of art library, such as museum libraries, and each section begins with a statistical chart. The publication is available through ARLIS/NA http://www.arlisna.org/forms/pub4saleFRM.html. Good luck. --Paul Glassman Editor, Occasional Papers ARLIS/NA On Wed, 20 Nov 2002 11:20:05 -0500 Poma-Swank AnnaMaria <[log in to unmask]> writes: > To all the collection development librarians: > do you have a collection development policy? > If yes, please could you e-mail to me? > If not, please let me know if you are planning one. > I am doing a study on collection development in art libraries and I > need > some statistical > data, > thanks, > > Annamaria Poma-Swank, Ph.D. > Associate Museum Librarian > The Cloisters Library & Archives > The Metropolitan Museum of Art > Fort Tryon Park > New York, NY 10040-1171 > (212) 396-5367 > fax: (212) 795-3640 > [log in to unmask] > Associate Visiting professor, SILS, Pratt Institue, NYC > > __________________________________________________________________ > Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] > For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: > http://www.arlisna.org//membership.html > Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, > etc) > to [log in to unmask] > ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: > http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html > Questions may be addressed to list owner (Kerri Scannell) at: > [log in to unmask] > > ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!
