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 3, 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
