In this study, Brewer investigated collection management practices employed by urban public libraries with regards to their fine arts collections.
Due to budget and staffing constraints, most institutions of this type do not have librarians trained in best practices for handling and cataloging art
objects. From her survey, Brewer concluded that many urban public libraries are working with systems and policies designed in-house specifically for their
institution; this makes data sharing, participation in union catalogs, and the creation of visual galleries more complicated than it would be if institutions
employed standardized methods for art collection management.

Harper provides a clear, practical explanation of fair use as it applies to copyrighted materials being used in an educational setting. This guide starts with an introduction to the concept of fair use and then walks the user through the process of determining what kind of permissions (if any) they need to reproduce materials for educational purposes.

McDermott introduces the reader to a sampling of online art collections from institutions around the world, including the British Museum, the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Public Library and the Library of Congress. Collections are grouped by type (Art, Photo, Earth and Space, and the less serious Celebrities and Silly Photos). She highlights useful tools and features of each collection, and includes screenshots of several. Also useful is a sidebar with basic information on copyright and URLs of copyright-related websites.
