Art Libraries in a city: present and possible co-operation in Leeds

Abstract

• In addition to an art library which is part of the public library service, the city of Leeds, in the north of England, is the home of two universities and an art college, and of the Henry Moore Centre for the Study of Sculpture, in each of which significant art library collections can be found. Each library has cooperative links, if only of a limited nature, with one of the other five, but cooperation involving all five libraries is lacking. As a first step, regular meetings are suggested; other possible developments might include an information booklet, a periodicals union list, a Conspectus review of collections, and a cooperative acquisitions policy.
