Specially Funded Book Acquisitions

A is for art or acquisitions; B, is for book; and C, for collections!  With inspiration from France in the Middle Ages and the art of the letter (above), we are pleased to announce in simple bibliographic terms recent art-related book acquisitions for our collections -- and with a special nod to the The Myers Foundations. Formerly known as the Florence H. and Eugene E. Myers Charitable Remainder Unitrust, this closely tied foundation continues to support art-related book acquisitions, art conservation, exhibitions, and art purchases and commissions. The Trust funds were created in the early 1990s, thanks to the generosity of alumnus Colonel Eugene Myers (MA,  drawing, painting and graphics) and who also served as an instructor here.

To select and acquire materials relevant to study, teaching and research in the field of art and art education and within scope for the collections at the Gottesman Libraries, we utilized tools such as Collection Manager and GOBI. Titles recently added are listed below with permalinks to their catalog records in Educat+ and to full text from providers. Tresha Antoine, Library Assistant, and Jennifer Govan, Library Director and Senior Librarian, coordinated on this special book acquisition project to strengthen holdings -- making fine, interesting, and relevant publications available to our patrons.
