Library Resource Review for AH100This review is submitted for the proposed new course: AH 100 Women and Art (1 unit)Submitted by Elise Wong, Cataloging and Reference Librarian, Nov 2014Library collection development budget allocation The library acquisition budget for Art supports three majors in the Art and Art History program: Art Practice, History of Art, and Art Theory and Criticism. The budget allocation varies from year to year. The 2014-2015 allocation for Art is $5492.87. The annual budget allocation for Art is primarily determined by statistics, such as, number of students in the Art program, number of Art reference questions, circulation of Art related library materials, and the number of library instruction for Art classes. Library resourcesThe library collection (print and electronic) has 9659 titles on Art books and videos, 15 subscription databases on Art and Art-related interdisciplinary topics, and 982 journal titles listed under Art, Architecture, and Applied Arts.

Since this course will serve the Writing in the Discipline designation, library instruction is required. The librarian did not have a chance to conduct a library session when the experimental course was offered during fall 2014. The professor should contact the Art subject librarian to schedule a library session in the future.Additional library resources needed The required textbook, Women, Art and Society / Whitney Chadwick, is available in the library. The library has almost all the books on the reading list. The professor is encouraged to recommend resources for the library's future purchases. ................
