Abstract

In 2011 the Courtauld Institute of Art was awarded funding for two new MA subjects looking to Asian art, in addition to its strengths studying art produced in the western tradition. The library was called on to build its collection around the new subjects to support the students in their studies. What selections tools and strategies have been used and what problems has the library encountered along the way? The new subjects are outlined and the library’s approach is discussed. Lessons were learned from the past and the library is about to embark in a new phase in its collecting history.
