Want to browse the stacks by call number? NYU Libraries use the Library of Congress classification system. Here is a general list of Library of Congress call numbers for books related to museum studies and collecting. For more specific call number ranges, perform a keyword search in the library catalog to find a sample call number related to your topic. Remember that many books related to museum studies may only be available electronically.
When searching for a museum publication in the library catalog, search for the museum name using quotes and the artist name or exhibition title. This will search the words as a complete phrase rather than as separate words.
i.e. "brooklyn museum" and Mickalene Thomas
