Art in the library: why is it there and should we care? [video]

ALIA New Librarians' Symposium 9 (NLS9), 5-7 July 2019 Adelaide: collaborate deviate innovate
 
Recording (MP4 audiovisual) of session on art displays in libraries. Research into the benefits of art in other workplaces is common, but research into the inclusion of art in library spaces has been limited. Using case studies from the University of Queensland and a Cambridge college, this session discussed some of the less conventional pieces of art we have put into libraries and discuss the reasons for and responses to displaying art in the academic library from both staff and students.
