About the Library

The Joseph Curtis Sloane Art Library's collection of almost 100,000 volumes includes books, exhibition catalogs, serials, CD-ROMs, videocassettes, microforms, illuminated manuscript facsimiles, artists' books, and online resources on the art of all periods from prehistoric times to the present, worldwide. The Art Library's collections are supplemented by UNC-CH's Academic Affairs Libraries, with holdings of over five million volumes in campus libraries, plus extensive electronic resources. New books listings by topic, library or call number are on the Libraries' main webpage.

The North Carolina Women Artists Archive, the Artists File, a vertical file of gallery announcements and small catalogs, and The David K. Stone Picture File are available. The Sloane Art Library also holds the Department of Art's theses and dissertations, with additional copies in the North Carolina Collection in Wilson Library. The North Carolina Collection also maintains a file on North Carolina artists.

The online catalog now includes entries for most print and electronic titles in campus Libraries' collections, while the libraries' web sites provide remote access to a wide array of electronic resources. The Art Library provides reference services, bibliographic instruction, and reserve reading. Self-service microform readers, VCR, color and black/white photocopiers, laser printer, a scanner, and wireless access for laptops are available.
