Abstract
Last fall, Fine Arts Librarian Kiana Jones collaborated with the University of Pittsburgh’s Intro to World Art professor and TAs to construct library hosted sessions that would introduce the 200+ students to acquisition and preservation practices, bridge the gap between the online catalog and artists’ books on display, and engage the students in visual analysis through a demonstration and graded worksheet. Visually analyzing and considering these books in the context of class themes and the art library as a site for collecting, preserving, and curating art, activated these books in ways that a simple “show-and-tell” presentation may not have, and further manifested the value of librarian/instructor collaboration.
