 ARTS LIBRARY MISSION STATEMENT  

As the working library for the arts at Yale, the fundamental mission of the Arts Library is
  1. To provide the principal collections, public services, and resource management that drive research, teaching, learning, and practice across the range of arts studies-including architecture, drama, book arts, the history of art, studio art, pertinent areas of classical studies-and support for the art museums.
  2. To act as the physical and intellectual library center for arts-related goals, interests, and curiosities, by offering library-based subject expertise through focused communication, management, mediation, and pedagogy.
  3. To provide particular expertise in the management of image-intensive library collections, print and digital, and in library services for image-related study, teaching, and practice.
Our main clientele is the arts community of Yale University. We embrace as well a responsibility to a broader community of scholars, researchers, students, and other readers within and outside Yale, present and future.
