Dear all, i am very new to this listserv and still in the process of learning about who are the members of this listserv and its coverage. I am a South Asian Studies Librarian at the University of Washington. I don't have an Art background or an Art Major degree. The last couple years or so, I have worked with our South Asian Art History professor to acquire South Asian Art History materials ranging from medieval and modern SA artist, video artists, art catalogs, etc. I have come up with a proposal to write a paper for a panel presentation about South Asian Art History Collections/ Resources in Academic libraries, museums etc. The panel theme is *"**Researching South Asia Today: Challenges of discovering and accessing research materials*". I am trying to get a sense of the scope of SA Art History collections in academic libraries,, vendors, the types of materials, gaps in the collection etc. What challenges do scholars face when trying to access South Asian Art History materials?What are the gaps in the collections etc?Which Academic Libraries have strong South Asia Art Collections? South Asian Art History is such a broad term encompassing many areas such as Art, Architecture, Sculpture and beyond. Currently I feel lost and strongly feel that I should narrow down my article to one or two areas of research. I need to brainstorm and need help to come up with some key ideas to get started with my research. I would like to include the libraries, museums etc in my paper that strongly focus on South Asian Art History Collection. The purpose of my paper is to inform scholars about the existence and availability of South Asian Art History Collections in libraries, museums etc. I will really appreciate if you please respond to this message and help brainstorm ideas. Thanks. -- Deepa Banerjee South Asian Studies Librarian Reference and Research Services University of Washington Libraries Phone: 206-685-1433 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
