This is the first book to describe the patterns of organization, administration, financial support, and activities that prevail in college and university art museums and galleries in the United States. It also deals with perceived purposes and values, professional preparation, and academic status of staff; community involvement; innovative programs; assessment of the effects of coordination in higher education upon the museums; and distinctions among museums in various sizes and types of institutions. The study covers 147 college and art museums. Five tables provide a convenient basis for comparison among these facilities. A map shows the locations of college and university museums and galleries throughout the United States."
