Abstract

With one exception Dutch art museum libraries date from the second half of the 19th century or later. In general, museum libraries reflect the scope of the museum they serve and exist primarily for the use of museum staff although the public are also admitted. Most now use the same cataloguing rules; manual catalogues are still commonplace but are likely to be displaced by the computer.
