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?

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
