You should examine the bibliographies in the ARLIS/NA Occasional Paper, CORE COMPETENCIES AND CORE CURRICULA FOR ART LIBRARY AND VISUAL RESOURCES PROFESSIONS, ed. By Heather Ball, 2005. My chapter on "Core Competencies for a Seminar in Art Librarianship" includes a substantial bibliography which covers most of the major literature on the history of art libraries and the profession, see pp. 56-77.
