Dear ARLISians,

 

I wanted to share a fun project undertaken by one of the Bullitt Library interns:

 

This past summer, we were asked by a patron to help him locate a particular book where the Seattle Art Museum was featured. We are, of course, a library, so we should have a good handle on all the books that feature SAM. Well, we didn’t, and, frankly, I had no idea what this book was.

 

Like most of us, I saw this kind of request as a sort of challenge. So did one of my interns who graciously offered to not only find the answer, but create a comprehensive list.  Jenatha Bruchon, a recent graduate of the UNC Greensboro MLIS program, took the ball and ran. See her great blog post on the subject: http://samblog.seattleartmuseum.org/2015/12/the-seattle-art-museum-in-fiction/. A direct link to the list of books is here: http://seattleartmuseum.org/Documents/Bib_SAM_Fiction.pdf.

 

The blog post went live yesterday and we’ve already had two emails from people that want to use the list for their book group. Finally, a work-related excuse to read some novels!

 

Best,
Traci
