Abstract

This article looks at the many problems that art libraries experience in developing video art collections. It considers a range of issues, from why it is often difficult to acquire video art, to reasons why many of the respected art library collections do not actively collect such material. Most of the findings arise from a workshop called Diverse practices, which was held at Kent Institute of Art and Design in February 2003.
