Student Paintings, Tattoo artists, and Scientists: the Rutgers University Art...Megan Lotts
The Rutgers University Art Library Exhibition Spaces (RALES) were created so that an Art Librarian could more intentionally connect with the departments with whom she is a liaison, and to further engage the local campus communities by elevating the importance of scholarly research happening in the Arts. These spaces also provide an opportunity for student artists, graduate students in librarianships, and organizations putting up their first exhibit, to learn more about what goes into an exhibition, from creation of the work, to the public viewing, marketing, and reception. RALES also provides an opportunity for individuals to view artworks in person, as opposed to studying an image in a book.
In three years this teaching gallery has hosted 38 exhibits by students, faculty, and staff, of Rutgers, as well as a few local and out of state artists. There has been little to no cost in running this gallery space, other than the time. The most impactful aspect of RALES is that is has created a deeper connection to the patrons that the Art Library serves as well as built bridges across the campuses that have introduced the libraries to many new potential partnerships.
This presentation will include a brief review of exhibition spaces in academic libraries as well as a discussion on how gallery spaces can be low cost, easy to coordinate, and create a lasting impact. Audience members will learn more about the physical make up of RALES, examples of exhibits shown in the space, and tips on how one can create their own low cost gallery space. Lastly the author will provide examples for ways to find artist and curators and show a research guide that has been created to archive the spaces.

Tango on a Tightrope: Providing Access to Collections Through Symbiotic Partn...The Frick Collection
This case study focuses on the Frick Art Reference Library's experience of working with outside aggregators and data producers to advance strategic goals to rapidly disseminate historical information resources that were locked up inside the building. We pursued these goals in spite of a lack of institutional funding, and were in fact challenged to do so.
1) Museum documentation is essential for managing collections, identifying artifacts, and providing information to visitors and researchers. It establishes provenance and helps combat theft.
2) Documentation should include objective information about an artifact like physical characteristics, cultural context, ownership history, and acquisition details. It is recorded and organized in an accessible system.
3) Effective documentation requires trained staff, unique identifiers for each artifact, and physical or digital systems to store and retrieve information about the museum's collections.
This document discusses a research project conducted at Trapholt museum in Denmark aimed at studying how curating exhibitions impacts visitors' well-being and understanding of art. The project invited foreign scientists to join workshops and discuss interpretation in museums. It developed a framework to measure art museum well-being based on psychological well-being scales. A case study exhibition called "YOUR exhibition" allowed visitors to curate works and was studied longitudinally to understand how curating influences engagement with art over time and perception of the museum as an institution. Preliminary results found high well-being that requires further examination based on demographics. The research design was modified to combine surveys to better measure impacts of curating.
