The Visual Arts Collection open house will be held in Love Library’s Link at 4 p.m. Sept. 25. Art Librarians will be on hand to discuss the new area. Tours will be given and refreshments served.
The Love Library Link is the new home to the Visual Arts Collection, which includes heavily used and classic materials in the Fine Arts and Photography. The Visual Arts Collection has wide aisles between book stacks for easy access, large tables where faculty and students can lay out materials, scanners and a light table.
Lighting has also been improved, computers have been dispersed throughout and the libraries’ expert help service, ASKUS, is now located next to the collection.
Adding all of the features listed above to the collection allows art students in any medium to gather in one location and work for an extended period of time in a comfortable space. Over the coming months, the libraries will continue to furnish this space to better meet the needs of art and art history faculty and students.
Additional, lesser-used materials in the Fine Arts and Photography are located in Love North Lower Level and can be easily requested through a Delivery/Interlibrary Loan account or by asking at the main help desk in the Love South Lobby. Books will be delivered directly to Woods Halls. Researchers will have access to this area with permission.
Continuous improvements will be based on feedback. If someone is unable to attend the event, individual tours can be given at scheduled times. For more information, contact Richie Graham at 402-472-5410 or at rgraham7@unl.edu. Kay Logan-Peters can also be contacted at 402-472-1195 or klogan-peters1@unl.edu to set up an appointment.
