Abstract (en)

"A new art librarianship will expect of art librarians that they should be aware of the ways in which art libraries legitimize certain books and artworks, thus reinforcing the hegemony of the dominant culture, and that they should be prepared to use the power of art libraries knowingly and productively. Instead of imposing order through inflexible classification schemes, the new art librarianship will embrace the disorder of a vast complex of knowledge seen from multiple viewpoints".
