Extract

This paper evaluates the access provided to electronic reference material in art libraries in Germany and elsewhere. The extremely heterogenous state of education and knowledge concerning these materials is discussed, both from the point of view of library staff and that of the specialised public. Finally a proposal is formulated for a co-operative way of giving access to at least the metadata of these resources, and for their thematic indexing.
