  2. Working with Faculty to Create Credit Courses and Other Instruction for Art and Art History Students Jennifer Parker Art and Architecture Librarian University of Colorado at Boulder

  3. From Graduate School, to Library School, to Internships and Assignments

  4. Instruction at CU-Boulder • Collaboration between CU-Libraries and the Program for Writing and Rhetoric (PWR) • RIOT Tutorial and Instruction Session • Few established relationships between academic departments and the Libraries • No subject or discipline specific instruction for the arts

  5. Getting the Department Involved • Collaborations are paramount • Patience and persistence essential • Presence was the key

  6. Collaborating with Studio Arts • Studio Artists have different needs from the library • Few see library as a resource for their students • Few think that they have research needs

  7. Foundations for Studio Art • Intro class required for all incoming studio arts majors – approximately 450 a year • Focused on practice of artists • Faculty interested in incorporating brief research assignment

  8. The Assignment • 3-4 page research paper on a contemporary artist the student has learned about in class • Paper is to include a bibliography and an image • Students must use at least 3 resources • Students must visit the Art and Architecture Collection

  9. The Instruction • Webpage http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/art/ARTS1010.htm • Steps for researching a contemporary artist: • Search Chinook for a book • Search ArtBibliographies Modern for an article • Search Lexis/Nexis Academic for a review • Search the Internet for a website on or about the artist • Evaluation and citation of materials

  10. Research for Art History Grad Students • Proposed at an Art History Faculty Meeting • One credit course taught in conjunction with the Art Theory course • Required for all incoming graduate students • Recommended for advanced undergraduates

  11. The CU Library System and Refworks Bibliographies, Biographies, and Images Iconography Ancient to Medieval Renaissance to Modern North and South American Contemporary and Non-traditional Non-western and Multi-Cultural The Course
