Abstract
Art libraries in Egypt, as part of a broader art information context, do not play a vital role in the preservation, survey, and dissemination of art information in the country. These information centres have not been given the recognition or financial support necessary to allow them to become active, up-to-date art information clearinghouses. Two major art documentation centres in Cairo are discussed: the Egyptian Museum Library and the Creswell Collection and Library at the American University in Cairo. Common problems among art libraries in Egypt are identified and a few steps which could lead toward improved conditions are suggested.
