Join us for a chat today on the Future of Art Indexing with Carole Ann
Fabian, 11am Pacific – 12pm Mountain– 1pm Central – 2pm Eastern
Recent discussion about BHA has brought to the fore a possible near-term
chilling reality--one in which access to both retrospective and current
indexing may be severely curtailed. More broadly and across the
disciplines, scholarly publications everyday become more available in
digital formats. Some content becomes available through open access
venues online, while others are available through subscription sources.
* What impact does this trend have on the future of art indexing?
* Do art researchers look to indexes as a primary discovery tool and
will they use them at all as inevitably more and more content
becomes available to them online in full-text?
* If we believe as a community that art indexes will continue to be
a necessary and relevant discovery mechanism, how will the
community support indexing projects going forward?
