Dear Kathy,We have had art displays in the library by requests from students and professors but do not have an official policy. We ask the parties organizing the display to take responsibility for both installation and take down. We had a controversial piece once that we had to place a sign next to that explained that the views were those of the artists and not of the library. This was the resolution after some confusion of how to handle the piece. If that’s not in any policy I recommend including something to protect yourself or considering what you allow to be displayed.I would also like to be included in the replies and recommendations. Thank you.Regards,Grace KimInstruction and Assessment LibrarianNotre Dame de Namur UniversityDear colleagues,
Suddenly I am the Art Coordinator for the main library here at Clemson.
As I begin to pull that program and a team together, I would very much appreciate hearing from those of you who have art displayed in your main libraries: policy or procedure documents, most especially.
What are the art sources you tap? Who vets artworks? What security/insurance provisions did your organization think through (and reject J).
Many thanks,
Kathy
