Core competencies & core curricula for the art library and visual resources professions

An invaluable tool that guides art librarians and visual resource professionals through the issues and challenges of creating competency standards and allied curricula. This resource includes the ARLIS/NA core competency guidelines for art information professionals, bibliographies, and a selection of papers on management and competencies related to the visual resources profession. Also included are course materials, descriptions and curricula outlines from exemplary LIS programs focusing on arts, humanities, museum, and digital librarianship. Articles from part one are based on presentations made at the 2004 Art Libraries Society of North America conference. Authors of part two have generously made available their curricular materials.
