RISD Museum, Rhode Island School of Design (Fleet Librar at RISD)

As the world of design is increasingly transformed by technology, sustainability considerations, and other forces, libraries supporting art and design instruction programs are challenged to continually update their services and collections. The Rhode Island School of Design Library will host a forum of invited stakeholders including artists, architects and designers, educators, researchers, and librarians to provide advice on the resources and documentation required to prepare art and design students for knowledgeable and responsible use of materials in their professional work. A final whitepaper summarizing participant recommendations will be prepared and a website containing information produced during the forum will be available.
