Hello all.

 

In the ongoing effort to introduce positive change to the AGO library, we’re looking for guidance on best practices around the role a liaison librarian might fill in the museum setting.  I’d be grateful to hear about examples of liaison librarian duties that are typical in an academic art library setting, including – Are these carried out formally or informally?  How crucial are they to the academic art library?  What’s the role of social media in liaison duties? 

 

Museum librarians do liaise – a lot -- but it’s work that’s often unacknowledged and typically informal, even (at the risk of stereotyping ourselves) social in nature.  Those laissez-faire days are gone and now the museum library must be quite clear about its core values, and how precisely it supports and enables the museum’s mission.   

 

Thanks in advance for your replies. 

 

Karen
