Dear ARLIS/NA Members:
I will be guest editing a special issue of the VRA Bulletin in Spring
2008 on "Digital Collaborations." I am intentionally making this an
open call for abstracts for paper proposals to get as wide a range of
articles on as many different topics as possible, both within the
arts and humanities disciplines and beyond.
The broad question that I am asking is: How are digital image
collections now working or being implemented across the larger
environment, either within one institution or between institutions?
I am interested in substantive articles from the collage/university,
library, private/commercial sector, and museum communities.
Papers may address digital collaborations within cross-campus,
multi-campus, single and multi-institution, commercial image
consortia, library consortia, environments.
Topics that may be addressed are image database development, metadata
issues, institution-wide image delivery, user issues, user and staff
training programs, funding and staffing issues, personal collection
access and delivery, commercial collections, image/text/audio/video
collections, etc.
Please submit a one-page abstract of your paper proposal to me via
e-mail by August 1, 2007 ([log in to unmask]). Final articles should
be between 2,500-4,000 words, not counting illustrations. Final
papers will be due by December 31, 2007.
Thank you,
John
