LIBRARY NOTES
The Library gratefully accepted a gift of
The Dictionary of Art, published this year by Grove's Dictionaries, Inc. This thirty-four volume work is a sister publication to
The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (also in the Library).
The set was donated by Barbara Wriston, and Walter Wriston, and Catherine Quintal, in memory of their mother, Marguerite Woodworth Wriston.
The Dictionary of Art covers a wide range of topics, including such specialized studies as the architecture of libraries. It includes artistic practices outside the West, has scholarly bibliographies for most articles, and a detailed index. This work will be of great service to our readers. It may be found in the fifth floor large study room (class number LSR 703 D).
