I have been asked to write a chapter on public libraries for a Bowker-Saur
publication 'Information Sources in Art, Art History and Design'
(publication date 2001).
Apart from talking about information sources I would like to include quite
alot about the role of public libraries in promoting the arts and their
involvement with their local arts communities.
I would like to hear from any public library which does lots of the above
and from those libraries who have a strong collection of arts books and
resources. I would also like to hear of any Arts or Cultural Development
Policies or Plans your library or authority has.
Please reply to me rather than to the list, but I will be happy to forward
information I receive to any one who is interested.
Many thanks - in anticipation!
