I’d like a show of hands (ie responses either to the list or to me) of those who would be interested in the following:
A printed hardcopy catalog of artist monographs
A electronic list of artist monographs
For those who reply:
What is a good working number of titles for such a list before it feels overwhelming or unwieldy for you to peruse or work from?
Do you prefer an excel file of these books, where you can manipulate the data, or a paragraph-style listing where you cannot easily manipulate the data?
How much time do you devote to such lists or catalogs willingly?
How much time would you devote to such lists or catalogs if you could do as you pleased?
What areas of your collection are you actively developing?
Are you interested in receiving targeted offerings in these areas, or do you prefer to look for things as you need them?
A few moments of your time in responding to these queries will help me and other Specialists stay dynamic in my ability to meet the needs of the members of ARLIS in an ever-evolving field.
Thank you!
Kevin Mullen, Bookseller
