In the Studiolo
set up by the Education Service for selected exhibitions, there is
usually a reading corner with an open-shelf reference centre, organized
in cooperation with the Kunst- und Ausstellungshalle library and covering
a great variety of aspects of the given exhibition. The literature
is available to the visitors as a Studiolo feature; the aim is to
provide an in-depth treatment of various exhibition categories, or
explanatory background information, or supplementary material on the
exhibits.
If no Studiolo is included in a given exhibition, the collateral literature
on the exhibition is available in the KAH library as a reference collection
during the general opening hours. After the exhibition closes, the
reading corner or reference collection is dismantled and the books
are re-shelved in the library. Literature that does not fit the subjects
and focal points of the library's collection are exchanged with other
libraries or passed on to appropriate public institutions.
To date, Studiolo reference centres or special reference collections
have been set up for the following exhibitions. These literature lists
are accessible as Word documents or in pdf-format via the Acrobat
Reader.
