2021/22 Kress Fellowship in Art Librarianship at Yale University
Robert B. Haas Family Arts Library Yale University, New Haven, CT
Fixed Duration Position: 10 months from date of hire; non-renewable
Expected Start Date: July 1, 2021 Fellowship Award: $40,000
POSITION DESCRIPTION The Yale University Library welcomes
applications for the 2021/22 Kress Fellowship in Art Librarianship.
The Kress Fellowship is intended for a recent graduate from library
school who wishes to pursue a career in art librarianship, and is
made possible through the generosity of the Samuel H. Kress
Foundation. Through this fellowship, the Kress Foundation seeks to
ensure the growth of the discipline by promoting the advancement of
new professionals. The Haas Family Arts Library at Yale serves an
array of academic and museum programs, architects, artists and
scholars. Kress Fellows have opportunities to interact with
faculty, staff and students in the Schools of Architecture, Art,
and Drama; Department of the History of Art; and two university art
museums, the Yale Center for British Art and the Yale University
Art Gallery. They also have opportunities to collaborate with
colleagues from throughout the Yale University Library, including
the Sterling Memorial Library and the Beinecke Rare Book and
Manuscript Library. The rich professional and scholarly resources
of New York City and Boston's art libraries and museums are within
two hours' travel, providing further opportunities for professional
growth and professional contact with colleagues in the region.
RESPONSIBILITIES The Kress Fellowship is a 10-month appointment and
focuses on multiple areas of art librarianship including public
services, collection development and management, special
collections, and digital collections. Focusing on special
collections this year, projects and activities will draw on subject
areas served by the Haas Arts Library including the history of art,
architecture, drama, design, and aligned area studies. The fellow
will also work on a special-collections-focused project at the Yale
Center for British Art Institutional Archives. Here is a list of
past fellows and project titles. The fellow will gain experience in
reference services and library research education in the Haas
Family Arts Library, Arts Library Special Collections, including
shifts at service desks and participation in orientations,
instruction sessions, and library workshops. Other activities will
vary based on current Yale Library needs and the fellow's interest
and experience. Kress Fellows are expected to pursue mutually
agreed-upon projects resulting in tangible deliverables. Kress
Fellows are also introduced to a broad spectrum of professional
activities and may have the opportunity to assist with collection
development activities, archival processing, or library-based
exhibitions. Kress Fellows may participate in library committees
and working groups at the Arts Library and the larger Yale Library
system. Recent Fellows have taken the lead in running the Arts
Librarys social media feeds in collaboration with members of the
Arts Library Social Media Team. Fellows are encouraged to be
professionally active and involved in the academic, scholarly, and
professional community. QUALIFICATIONS Masters degree from an
ALA-accredited program for library and information science (degree
must be completed before start date). Academic background in
history of art, architecture, or related arts discipline. Excellent
analytical, organizational, management, customer service, and
interpersonal skills. Ability to effectively build partnerships and
promote the benefits of change in an academic culture that often
values ambiguity, diversity of opinion, and historic precedent.
Ability to communicate effectively through both oral and written
expression. Ability to work both independently and collegially in a
demanding and rapidly changing environment. Preferred: Advanced
degree and/or relevant experience in history of art, architecture
or related arts disciplines. Experience with developing digital
information resources, archival processing, and/or working with
rare materials. Teaching experience and/or customer service
experience. FELLOWSHIP AWARD AND BENEFITS The Kress Fellow will be
in residence at Yale for ten months and will receive an award of
$40,000, prorated over the fellowship term. Health insurance will
be provided. APPLICATION PROCESS Applicants should submit a current
resume or CV, a brief cover letter/statement of interest that
includes experience with special collection materials, and names
and contact information for three professional references to Mar
Gonzalez Palacios via e-mail at mar.gonzalezpalacios@yale.edu,

reflect a genuine commitment to art librarianship and an interest
in the provision of information services to the visual arts
community. There is no application form. Please be sure to include
2021/22 Kress Fellowship in the e-mail subject and cover letter. A
search committee of Yale librarians will review submissions and
