THE UNIVERSITY AND THE LIBRARY
The University Library, which is a highly valued partner in teaching
and research at the University, has more than 12.5 million volumes housed
in the Sterling Memorial Library and 22 school and department libraries.
It employs a dynamic and innovative staff of nearly 600 FTE who have the
opportunity to work with the highest caliber of faculty and students,
participate on committees and are involved in other areas of staff
development. A full spectrum of library resources, from rare books and
manuscripts to a rapidly expanding network of electronic resources,
constitutes one of Yale's distinctive strengths. The Library is engaged
in numerous ambitious projects to expand its collections and access to
them. For additional information on the Yale University Library, please
visit the Library's Web site at:

THE ARTS LIBRARY
The Arts Library at Yale consists of four operating units: Art and
Architecture, Arts of the Book, Classics, and Drama. Together, the Arts
Library supports the arts area programs at Yale, including the Schools of
Architecture, Art, and Drama, and the departments of Classics and the
History of Art, as well as the teaching and research needs of the Yale
community beyond the visual arts. The Arts Library houses several
prominent archival and special collections in Art and Architecture, Arts
of the Book, and Drama. These range from type specimens and woodblocks to
theatrical archives to one of the world’s foremost collection of books on
color.
The Arts Library at Yale serves a distinguished array of academic and
museum programs, architects, artists and scholars. Kress Fellows have the
opportunity to interact routinely with faculty, staff and students in
distinguished Schools of Architecture, Art, and Drama; a nationally
ranked department of the History of Art; and two outstanding university
art museums, the Yale Center for British Art and the Yale University Art
Gallery. They also have occasion to collaborate with colleagues from
throughout the Yale University Library, including the Sterling Memorial
Library, the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, and the library
and rare books department of the Center for British Art. The rich
professional and scholarly resources of New York City and Boston’s art
libraries and museums are within two hours travel, providing still
further opportunities for professional growth and professional contact
with colleagues.
POSITION DESCRIPTION
The Yale University Arts Library welcomes applications for the 2006/7
Kress Fellowship in Art Librarianship. The Kress Fellowship is intended
for a recent graduate from library school who wishes to pursue a career
in art librarianship. This fellowship is made possible through the
generosity of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation. Through this fellowship,
the Kress Foundation seeks to achieve in the field of art librarianship
what it has accomplished for art history and art conservation: ensuring
the growth of the discipline by promoting the advancement of new
professionals.
This year the focus of the Kress Fellowship will be on all aspects of
public services in the arts, which will include experience in providing
reference, instruction, and outreach as well as designing and undertaking
an innovative exploration of a specific aspect of these services. During
their tenure at Yale Kress Fellows are expected to pursue a mutually
agreed-upon project resulting in a publishable paper or a new library
service. Kress Fellows are also introduced to a broad spectrum of
professional activities beyond public services and will have the
opportunity to perform collection development activities, interact with a
variety of special collections, and participate in the work of library
committees and external professional organizations.
The Kress Fellowship is a competitive fellowship. Applicants should
submit current resume as well as a brief statement of interest and names
of three references to Diane Y. Turner, Associate University Librarian
for Human Resources, Staff Training & Security, PO Box 208240, New
Haven, CT 06520-8240. Submissions are also welcome via email and can be
sent to [log in to unmask]. The
statement of interest is expected to reflect a genuine commitment to art
librarianship and an interest in the provision of information services to
the visual arts community. There is no application form. A committee of
Yale librarians will review submissions. The Kress Fellow will be in
residence at Yale for eight months, and will receive an award of $30,000,
prorated over the fellowship period. Health insurance will be
provided.
