I also understand that CIT at Reid run a course for would be curators. I am sure they have a library with suitable texts for their students. ANU run a curatorship subject through their art history unit. Your husband works at the ANU, dose he not? Check their library. Or, as you say this is for your local library, I am sure they have the odd book about, have a look their.

Thanks Deb, they are certainly some good links for me to consider long term. In the short run I'm more looking for display ideas of other exhibitions that people may have photographed and put online to get layout ideas. I've got some mannequins and heads but I'm the sort of person who puts some flowers in a vase and thats what they look like - someone else might do the same but it looks like a gorgeous display. Like also wearing a scarf or doing the hair - some have the 'knack'. I seem to have lost out in that department.
