The process requires spatial thinking about adjacencies and proximities and administrative and functional efficiencies, and is based on a series of projections and estimations of growth and change in resources and information services. The difficulty of these considerations notwithstanding, the most critical aspect of the planning challenge is, however, an underlying conceptual one—the understanding and anticipation of the programmatic and related user needs of the campus and the broader community and the way that the library is able to respond to these needs and shape its programs accordingly. In effect, the library uses the medium of architecture to express the nature of its relationships with its constituencies. When viewed from this perspective, the challenge presents the opportunity to create an environment for learning and research that reflects the library's values and beliefs and that gives a clearer focus to its educational role. The challenge is energizing and enabling, and librarians who are engaged in the process have the opportunity to become, in a sense, social architects who can translate their vision of what they believe the library is or can be into a new social reality. The John Cotton Dana Library of the Rutgers University Libraries, in Newark, has had the opportunity to create the kind of library environment that it sought for its campus and community (within, of course, the restrictions of an extremely tight construction budget) in the planning for a two-story addition to and renovation of its facility during the past few years. (It has been at its present site since 1967 with a new wing added in 1977.)

(Pl. 1) I had previously encountered his name as that of an enthusiast and collector of art and music, particularly music by Handel, some of which had found its way into Special Collections and Archives of the Rutgers University Libraries in New Brunswick, New Jersey. That visit has led me to the present attempt to explore Sir Watkins relationship to art and music, and especially to Handel and the Handel collection at Rutgers. In the December 1965 issue of this Journal I described a collection of prints and manuscripts of music by George Frideric Handel housed in Special Collections and Archives of the Alexander Library of Rutgers in New Brunswick. It was explained there that part of the collection was acquired by Rutgers around 1950 as a result of a purchase by the Dana Library of Rutgers in Newark that had been recommended by Professor Alfred Mann, a distinguished Handel scholar, now emeritus. Some time after this purchase, which included eleven manuscript volumes described in my article cited above, the materials were transferred to Special Collections in New Brunswick. At that time the provenance of the Handel manuscripts was largely a mystery, although it is clear that they were once part of a single collection, being uniformly bound in leather and numbered consecutively from I to IX, lacking vol. IV but including an \"Appendix Vol. I\" and two unnumbered volumes. All the numbered volumes are devoted to Anthems, while the unnumbered ones contain An Ode for Queen Anne's Birthday and Italian Duettos and Trios? Since the publication of my article, the collection, and particularly the manuscripts, have been cited in the relevant literature, including studies by Larsen, Dean, and Beeks, the Handel thematic catalogue by Baselt, and the edition of Anthems in the Hallische HandelAusgabe.","PeriodicalId":247763,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Rutgers University Libraries","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122836508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Art Library: A New Art Landmark at Rutgers Mall","authors":"Halina R. Rusak","doi":"10.14713/JRUL.V54I2.1720","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14713/JRUL.V54I2.1720","url":null,"abstract":"The Art Library of Rutgers University is located in a new facility on the historic Voorhees Mall. The mall is one of the oldest parts of the University. Some of its buildings date back to the university's early colonial beginnings. The mall is dominated on one end by the administration building, Old Queen's, and on the other end by the New Brunswick Theological Seminary. A historic sculpture of William the Silent presides at one extremity of the mall, while on the other, a modern sculpture in front of the art museum proclaims its contemporary role. The mall serves as the nucleus of an otherwise dispersed university. It is a ceremonial and symbolic place where every year hundreds of new graduates march the traditional path from Old Queen's, past the Art Library to Murray Hall, to receive their diplomas in celebration of the affirmation of their achievement. On this historic mall stands the Art Library: it observes, participates, and educates. The Art Library was transferred in 1966 from Alexander Library to Voorhees Hall, an already existing building and the former main library for the university in New Brunswick. The move was accomplished with the initiative and active participation of the Art History Department under the chairmanship of James Stubblebine. Roger Tarman, a newly hired art librarian, organized the transfer. James Stubblebine expressed his enthusiasm and approval of the new arrangement in his article \"Art Finds Home\": \"Part of the old bookstack area has been made into an art library, with its attractive reading room, which is one of the triumphs of the building.\" In the same building and at the same time, the Art Gallery was established. This arrangement provided for a working symbiosis among three related but separate parts—the Art Gallery, the Art History Department, and the Art Library—and defined the center of the art community at Rutgers. Although the library was now well-located, the space it occupied had not been specifically planned to accommodate the Art Library's needs.","PeriodicalId":247763,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Rutgers University Libraries","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125898481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
