LIBR 520: Collection Management with Simon Neame

Assignment #4: Collection Selection & Assessment by Greta Bahnemann Hanna Ruotsalainen December 3, 2004

Description of the Library, selected roles, service community (population size and characteristics) other factors relevant to collection management The Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, located on Vancouvers Granville Island, is a learning community devoted to excellence and innovation in Visual Arts, Media Arts and Design. The Institute offers three undergraduate degrees including a Bachelors of Fine Arts (with degrees in Visual Arts, General Fine Arts or Photography), Bachelor of Design (with degrees in Communication Design or Industrial Design) and Bachelor of Media Arts (with degrees in Animation or Integrated Media). The Institute also offers several certifications as well as continuing studies for non-degree students. Learning styles includes traditional classroom and studio work as well as online learning. Emily Carr Institutes Library supports and supplements the curriculum of the Institute. The Library welcomes all Institute students, faculty and staff as well as members of the general public (for a fee). The Emily Carr Institutes Library contains more than 23,000 volumes of books and exhibit catalogues as well as 160 magazine and journal subscriptions. The library is also comprised of an extensive audio visual collection of more than 145,000 images (many of them are available online) and 800 sound recordings. The library contains a Canadian artist vertical file, the Emily Carr Institutes archives, a menu collection and small collection of artists books. The Institutes Library serves a diverse population of students, faculty, staff and members of the public. Current enrollment at the Institute numbers 1,300 students. It was noted by the library staff that the work of the students is tremendously varied and as a result competing demands are placed on the library. The library also supports the research needs of the 53 regular faculty members and the more than 100 sessional faculty members. Debra Gilman, librarian at Emily Carr, noted that the conflicting and competing demands of the regular faculty and sessionals also places large demands on the librarys collections. The Library offers bibliographic instruction for all library users, including a general 45 minute introductory class as well as specific subject-related research classes. Library users are also able to utilized TILT, The Information Literacy Tutorial. TILT is an educational website designed to facilitate library research skills. The online tutorial is comprised of three modules which are available to students at all times.

Description of subject/sector - provide scope notes for subject area including depth and breath of materials, format that will be included. Provide a call number range as well as key subject headings. The history of furniture design in the 20th century reflects the changing tastes and trends within the design community. The early years of 20th century design were dominated by the International Arts and Crafts Movement which was quickly followed by Art Nouveau (circa 1910-1920) and Art Deco (circa 1920-1930). By mid century Modern and Post Modern styles accounted for the changing tastes of post-war consumers. These new movements gave rise to designers such as Charles and Ray Eames, Mies Van Der Rohe, Le Corbusier, De Stijl and many others. The later part of the 20th century witnessed a renewed interest in artisanship and craftsmanship among furniture designers. The history of furniture design also documents several important ongoing trends. These include the development of architect designed furniture, with the most famous examples being the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier. Another important trend is the reduction in the functionality of some post-modern furniture and the corresponding development of furniture as sculptural art. Subject headings: The major subject headings for our area are: Furniture design--[country name]--History--20th century Furniture design--History--20th century [Designers name] Design--History--20th century a less relevant subject area but many books on design generally do cover furniture design along with other types of design. Call numbers: The books that would fall into our subject area come from the following call number ranges: NK2200-2750 Decorative Arts Furniture NK2395-2399.S87 History 20th Century; Most relevant call number range NK2401-2694.5 Countries NK1-8 Decorative Arts Periodicals NK28 Decorative Arts Encyclopedias NK30 Decorative Arts Dictionaries NK789 Decorative Arts History Modern 20th Century NK1165 Decorative Arts Decoration and Ornament Design Dictionaries NK1160 Decorative Arts Decoration and Ornament Design Periodicals and Societies NK1390-1498 Decorative Arts Decoration and Ornament Design History Modern 20th Century

Approaching the selection of new materials for this sector. List selection tools are most useful and describe why. We approached the selection of this subject by checking the recommended review tools listed in the text as well as from the class lectures. We also conducted an interview with Debra Gilman, librarian at the Emily Carr Institute. Based on this research, a variety of selection tools were utilized. Our selection tools include library resources such as Library Journal, Art Libraries Journal, Art Book and Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries. We also utilized the reviews found in the many subject journals including Furniture Forum and Interior Design. General resources such as the New York Times Book Review, Books in Print with Reviews and the Bloomsbury Review were also consulted. Debra Gilman recommended a perusal of design journals, Blackwells book list, D.A.P., and ARLIS. Gilman also advised that faculty recommendations and distributor catalogues also play a critical role in the selection of materials. Gilman serves as the subject selector for the Institutes audio visual materials and recommended the use of Films for the Humanities and Fast Forward for A/V materials. We also consulted the collections of libraries with extensive design collections including the Yale University Library, Winterthur Museum Library and the Cooper Hewitt National Museum of Design. The UBC Fine Arts Subject Resources page also provided valuable information. The UBC Subject resources included many useful resources including a link to The Ide Virtual Design Museum, Delft University of Technology. The Ide Museum features an online glossary of 20th century designers and important design companies at http://www.io.tudelft.nl/public/vdm/. List of essential items/sources that should be included in this collection with a brief justification of choices by type or individually, citing sources consulted, selection tools, overviews of the subject, bibliographies, etc. Consult the catalogues of their libraries to obtain possible titles - but much of the searching for new titles should be recent issues of review tools. The history of 20th century furniture design is typically discussed in five types of publications. These include materials that provide an encyclopaedic overview of the period (The 3

History of 20th Century Design), materials about a given art movement (such as Art Nouveau or Art Deco). Materials about an individual designer, artist or architect also make valuable additions to a collection (examples include works about Gustav Stickley or Frank Lloyd Wright). The fourth category includes publications that highlight a given museum collection such as the Museum of Modern Art or Cooper Hewitt. Finally publications that focus on an individual furniture form, such as chairs, are also valuable.

The list of essential titles is comprised of the some of the representative classics within the 20th century furniture design genre. Chicago Furniture: Art Craft & Industry 1833-1983 by Sharon S. Darling met with favourable reviews when first published in 1984. Described as excellent, well-researched and thoroughly scholarly, the text has become a classic on American furniture during the first three quarters of the 20th century. 1 1000 Chairs by Charlotte and Peter Fiell met with favourable reviews when first published in 1997. Loren E. Baldwin reviewed the book for Amazon and noted that it documents the development and mutations in chair design and is a great book for most library collections. 2 100 Masterpieces from the Vitra Design Museum was produced as a catalogue to accompany an exhibit of the same name. The two works by Cara Greenberg represent her recent scholarship on post-modern design. Described as detailed exploration of the roots and influences of post-modern furniture. 3 The Work of Charles and Ray Eames was reviewed in Design Issues at the time of its publication in 1999. The review compared three current releases about the Eames and judged this edition to provide the most representative information. 4 Art Nouveau Bing was prepared as a catalogue for the traveling exhibition on the development of the Art Nouveau style. Considered by many historians to be the seminal work on Art Nouveau, the publication is described by Library Journal as especially useful for art libraries. 5 Art Deco Furniture garnered somewhat mixed reviews but did receive strong praise of its comprehensive biographies of 85 major furniture designers of the 1930s. 6

Le Corbusier Before Le Corbusier was reviewed in Library Journal in December 2002 and met with rave reviews. The book features information about the architects formative years and includes a chronology of the Le Crobusiers life. Library Journal concluded their review with the comment, Rarely do we see the visual language of a designer so well documented and deeply interpreted as in this book. 7

1988 edition

Furniture and Interiors of the 1960s and Furniture and Interiors of the 1940s by Anne Bony are recent additions to modern and post-modern design. Both titles met with favourable reviews when reviewed by Anne Marie Lane and Paul Glassman respectively. Furniture of the 1960s provides great detail about individual designers. 8 Bonys book on the design of the 1940s received a similar reception, all thorough and detailed and important for all interior design and decorative arts collections. 9 Gustav Stickley by David Cathers garnered rave reviews upon its publication in late 2003. Stickley was the seminal designer of Arts and Crafts furniture (also known as Mission furniture) in the United States. Described as one of the most comprehensive works on Stickley, the volume features an extensive chronology of Stickleys life and work as well as hundreds of photographs of Stickleys furniture, Craftsmen Farms and the Stickley workshop. A valuable addition to any library focused on 20th century design and furniture. 10 The Makers Hand: American Studio Furniture was reviewed in Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries. The volume met with a positive reception and served as an accompaniment to a major exhibit on studio furniture at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in 2003. 11

Dictionary of Furniture edited by Charles Boyce New York: Facts on File, 2000 For this section we selected books that provided an overview of the subject including overviews of design movements and biographies of major designers. Many of these books provide reference information for a user seeking general information on a movement, designer, or a particular famous piece. This section also includes dictionaries and encyclopedias. The History of Furniture: Twenty Five Centuries of Styles and Design in the Western Tradition was first published in 1999 and received enthusiastic reviews. Stephen Allan Patrick reviewed the volume for Library Journal and referred to it as an outstanding publication and a primer for the history and development of furniture. This reference source focuses on the development of Western furniture but also includes a comprehensive discussion of non-Western styles. The book also features an excellent use of illustrations and is highly recommended for any reference collection focusing on design and decorative arts. 13 Four Centuries of American Furniture is a 1995 update of Fitzgeralds now classic Three Centuries of American Furniture. Fitzgerald includes an expanded chronology as well as lavish illustrations and photographs from major museum collections. A Century of Design: Design Pioneers of the 20th Century by Penny Spark was praised for its inclusion of many pertinent facts. When reviewed in the Bloomsbury Review it was stated that the book will whet your appetite to gain a better understanding of any aspect of design. 14 Modern Furniture Classics by Charlotte and Peter Fiell met with an enthusiastic reception when published in 2001. Described as seminal in Design Week. The volume was also reviewed at Amazon.com and was described as an important edition to any collection on modern furniture. The Dictionary of Furniture edited by Charles Boyce provides solid concise descriptions of stylistic terms, decorative motifs and basic furniture design. It also makes a significant reference resource and was judged recommended. 15

Assessment of the existing collection to the wish list of selections. How does the existing collection measure up against it? Does the collection include some/all of the new and recommended titles you found? Comment on the mix of materials available

The existing collection contains just under half of the books we selected for our ideal collection. Some of the Emily Carr books are earlier versions of books that we recommended and for many of the books we recommended, the Emily Carr library has a comparable book, although it is almost always older than our selection. In general, our selections are newer than the Emily Carr books and more specific to the history of 20th century furniture design.

11

Of the books we recommended for the reference collection, a few are available in the library at Emily Carr but none are actually shelved in the reference section. Their reference materials for furniture are very sparse and mostly out of date. Four of the recent titles on our list are available at Emily Carr. Of the other new books at Emily Carr, some are new books on a non-current subject (such as Eileen Gray) and others books about relatively new designers. Books about those designers are effectively guaranteed to be recent because the designers are so new. One book is a history of furniture book updated to include the entire 20th century. Again, Emily Carr has some of the periodicals we recommended but not all of them. The library does have some Canadian periodicals which we did not have on our lists and which are very appropriate for a Canadian school. We had serious difficulties finding relevant video or multimedia titles for our ideal collection. Given that, it was unsurprising that the library has very few videos, DVDs, or other multimedia resources about furniture. Debra Gilman, the Audio/Visual librarian at Emily Carr, noted that even if the library did find out about a relevant title, getting the Canadian public performance rights could be very difficult. Evaluate the electronic resources provided on the subject through inclusion on the Library web site or by subscription

The library web page has a section on online resources including article databases, dictionaries and encyclopedias, image collections, and websites (some resources are duplicated in the lists). The article indexes/databases list is fairly comprehensive and included both of the databases we recommended as well as some other useful ones such as ARTbibliographies Modern and Art Full Text. Their website links are fairly weak with only four in total, although one of them was the Art Timeline from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They have an extensive list of links to

12

electronic journals. We were not able to determine if these were journals published solely in electronic form or just the websites of print journals or a mixture of both.

Describe the balance among the types of materials and formats and make an assessment of how quickly (if at all) a transition to electronic formats is occurring.

The library is beginning to make use of electronic formats. In the image collections section of the electronic resources, the library has provided links to image collections used for particular classes in exams. The images may be from their slide collection. They also have a link to a subscription-only image collection called AMICO. However, it does not seem that they are making a transition to electronic formats, just adding formats to their existing collection. For example, they have an extensive slide collection which could be transferred to electronic format. A particular problem is the lack of integration of electronic resources into the catalogue, especially of electronic journals.

Examine the physical condition of the collection, the age of materials, copyright dates and the timeliness for your subject area Older than 1980 1 6 7 6 1980s 7 13 6 41 1990-1994 5 0 6 44 1995-1999 12 3 5 59 2000s 9 5 7 53

Subject Furniture design AND history Furniture AND history NOT design Furniture AND design NOT history Design AND history AND 20th century

From these searches, we determined that the collection was not completely out of date but not as current as it could be. The library is evenly split between books published from 1980-1994 and newer books from 1995-2004. It is worth keeping in mind however, that 1995 was almost 10 years ago and so it could be considered the outside edge of new books.

13

However, In the call number range that is most relevant to our subject, NK2395-NK2399.S87, and in two of the most relevant searches (Furniture AND history NOT design; Furniture AND design NOT history), most of the books are older than 1995. How does the collection measure up overall?

The Emily Carr library has fewer books on furniture design than we would recommend but they have a fairly comprehensive design collection which would cover many of the same topics, just spread over more books. One area where their collection is much better than the collection we recommended is in books and journals covering Canadian design. Namely, they have a few titles whereas we have none. They also have more design books covering specific areas of the world such as Finland, Scandinavia, Italy, etc. Finally, Emily Carr has more books about specific designers than we recommended, particularly newer designers from the second half of the twentieth century. Identify the gaps. What additions would you recommend to fill them?

A series of books covering the decades in the 20th century would be very helpful, especially for the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Anne Bonys books would be appropriate. The library does have Charlotte and Peter Fiells series of books on decorative arts for various decades (published by Taschen) but the subject area covered in those books is too broad to allow a thorough analysis of furniture design. More reference books on furniture design would also be useful. The library has a single volume, but it was published in 1965. Obviously, a more current publication would be appropriate. The Morley book could be moved to the reference collection or the library could purchase the Boyce book. Books on Art Deco and Art Nouveau Furniture would also be useful. The library does have many books on both the Art Deco and Art Nouveau styles but none on furniture specifically. Also missing are books about furniture design in non-western countries and videos/DVDs about furniture design. However, given that we were unable to find anything suitable to recommend in either of those subject areas, it is difficult to blame the library for having those gaps.

14

Recommend an ongoing weeding program for the subject area

Existing books should be evaluated not just for the timeliness of the information but also the quality and number of photographs. Design is a very visual field and quality photographs are important. Newer books may not have new insights into the subject but the photographs are generally more numerous and of better quality. The library should have one or more books covering each major time period, designer, movement, and geographical area. Books that fall within this list should not be removed unless they have a replacement but they should be reviewed and books with mostly black and white photographs should be replaced. Also, books that claim to cover the entire 20th century but were published in the 1980s should be replaced with ones published after 2000, if possible. Other books that could be weeded are ones that would have been relevant when new but are now only valuable as an example of historical design theories or predictions. For example, the Emily Carr library contains one book about international furniture design in the 90s that was published in 1991. While an academic library might want to keep that book as an example of the state of design scholarship in the late 1980s, it is not suitable for Emily Carr.
