I recently visited the National Art Library at the V&A and I will be encouraging our students to go there.

The National Art Library at the Victoria and Albert Museum is a majorpublic reference library. Its strength lies in the range and depth of its holdings of documentary material concerning the fine and decorativearts of many countries and periods. It is also the curatorial departmentfor the art, craft and design of thebook, details of which can be found in the Prints & Books collection.

It is such a stunning library with unique resources - including many databases which our students can use. They even offer user education sessions on Tuesday.
