This sounds like the makings of a great ART DOC article-or is your PhD
student already committed to publishing somewhere else (besides her
dissertation)?  --Joan

I agree with Joan. And I'll add that we did have a PhD student who did a
fantastic exercise with her Intro to World Art students this summer. They
explored, compared, and critiqued Art history textbooks, noting which areas
of the world were represented over time. If you have the shelf space and
interested faculty, it could be interesting to save them, but if shelf space
is low, know you can always borrow older texts from us, should the
opportunity arise.

Seems to me that the only reason to keep the earlier Janson editions would
be if a researcher wanted to compare them.  I know the first edition
included NO women artists and it was motivational for scholars of women
artists.  But of course someone who wanted to do that kind of research would
probably already know which editions they wanted to look at and could get
them on Interlibrary loan.  You might want to ask some of your art history
faculty-especially women on that faculty.  But unless you have a strong
graduate program or faculty that have that interest, it doesn't seem worth
the shelf space.

Good Morning:

 

Our library is in the middle of a major weeding project and I would like to
know people's thoughts on retaining older editions of Janson's History of
Art.

 

Thanks -
