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.
