CALL FOR ARTICLES: SPECIAL ISSUE ON THE DIGITAL TRANSITION
A special theme issue of the VRA Bulletin, the journal of the Visual
Resources Association, is being planned for the end of 2004 on the
topic of the Digital Transition.
This very pertinent topic is obviously having a dramatic impact on
the visual resources, library, and information science professions
and the very way information about images and text will be collected
and delivered in the future, as evidenced by discussions on
listservs, conference presentations, symposia and workshops, and
daily activities in the workplace.
Proposed articles can come from a variety of viewpoints: case studies
from your own institutions, papers from conference sessions on the
topic, proposed project plans, association and consortium
initiatives, archival projects, digital standards, vendor updates on
images and software, intellectual property issues, data standards and
cataloging issues, user surveys, technical developments,
collaborations between image collections and text collections, online
resources, conceptual issues, etc.
Please submit a one-page abstract by April 1 to John Taormina,
Editor, VRA Bulletin, Dept. of Art and Art History, Duke University,
Box 90764, Durham, North Carolina, 27708-0764; ph: 919-684-2501; fax:
