Abstract

The Library is a research library for the Gallery’s staff and subject coverage is related to the two collections, Historic British and Modem. Some indication of the categories of material in the Library is given. Stock selection is on a co-operative basis with the staff readership and an exchange scheme with other museums is operated. The Library provides a direct service to Gallery staff but restricts outside use owing to limitations of accommodation and staffing. New premises on the Millbank Hospital Site are needed before any national role could be undertaken. (Based on a paper submitted to the National Co-ordination of Art Library Resources Committee).
