Reporting on the results of a survey conducted in spring 2017, the author offers insight
into the contemporary trends and challenges of collecting US, Canadian, and European print and
digital art exhibition catalogs by academic art librarians in the United States and Canada. Findings
demonstrate that for academic institutions with programs in art history, fine arts, or design, exhibition catalogs are a collection priority. Due to the variety of publishers of art exhibition catalogs,
specialized knowledge to identify and acquire these resources is required.
