Dear Linda and all ABM users
The first four volumes of ARTbibliographies Modern have never been
available electronically. The first three volumes of ABM are in a
completely different format from later issues. They contain
illustrations but no abstracts and the indexing structure is quite
different. We have never had digital data for the first four volumes as
ABC-Clio (the then publisher) decided not to convert it. There are
abstracts in ABM on the web from the 1960s and early 1970s but these
were published in ABM in 1974 or later.
I would be interested to know whether there is a genuine demand for the
first four volumes to be keyed and made available on the web. This would
be a costly and time-consuming project, however, and would probably not
be a priority for CSA.
Kind regards
Elizabeth

Subject: Re: ABM online and in print
Hi all--
I have 4 years of print volumes
for ABM that don't appear to be
online. (Vol. 1 has the early
title of LOMA--Literature on Modern
Art. But Vol. 2, et seq. bear
the ABM title.)
I just opened my print volume 2
of ABM to page 51 and searched
three citations online:
(1) Hine and camera
looking for "Lewis W. Hine: a
camera and a social conscience"
Album - 4 1970 (May) 4-12(11 illus)
and did not find a citation before 1974
(2) Hill and plexiglas*
looking for "Hill, J. My plexiglas and
light scultpures"
Leonardo, 1970 (Jan) 3 (n 1) 9-17 (9 ilus) Bibliog
and got no hits
(3) Hicks and tropics
looking for
"Demoriane, H. Hicks in the tropics"
Connaissance des Arts, 1970 (Feb) 78-83 (8 ilus)
and got not hits
It's true the early volumes are slim,
but based on the above I don't
think their contents are redundant.
Am I missing something about the history of LOMA-ABM?
