----------------------------Original message---------------------------- There's a lengthy article in the Spring 1996 issue of SPECIAL LIBRARIES devoted to the state of museum libraries (statistics on budgets, staffing etc.). While not devoted solely to ART museum libraries, the study is still worth a look-see. Bierbaum, Esther.
