While here at Purchase College we have a Performing Arts Librarian (with a strong music background), as the Art Librarian, I have also been contributing, especially for areas where there is overlap with the visual arts: theater technology, set design, lighting design, costume design, and other topics as well. Why don't you look at the ARTS, a section of ACRL, which represents librarians in the visual and performing arts? For information on this listserv, see: http://web.uflib.ufl.edu/arts/artslib.html <http://web.uflib.ufl.edu/arts/artslib.html> Joy Kestenbaum Art Librarian Purchase College, SUNY 735 Anderson Hill Road Purchase, NY 10677-1400 (914) 251-6406 [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> -----Original Message----- From: Rebecca Kranz [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, May 05, 2003 6:19 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [ARLIS-L] theater studies Dear Colleagues, If there is anyone out there who is a selector for theater materials and/or whose domain in the library includes performing arts (as well as fine arts and/or architecture), please contact me off list. I am seeking insights from other reference/instructional librarians who have studio art/art history/architecture backgrounds, but also cover performing arts (specifically theater and dance). Also, does anyone know of a list serv for performing arts librarians? It just occurred to me that this might be a good topic for a "what you weren't taught in library school session," at the annual conference, in other words, how to go about selecting and instructing in the areas of music and/or the performing arts as a "traditional" art/architecture librarian. Thank you in advance, Rebecca Kranz [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> __________________________________________________________________ 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] __________________________________________________________________ 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]
