Amy Fry’s Summary

My library experience includes interlibrary loan, reference, instruction, electronic resources management, web design and development, collection development and management of hardware and software. My focus as an art historian is on design and visual culture, particularly corporate and retail design, branding, and visual identity. Areas of specialization include American arts & crafts and Prairie design, German modernism and medieval England. I would like to do a Getty internship, complete a PhD in design history, and become an art or visual resources librarian in a museum or major research library.
