What are the advantages of an online scholarly catalogue? What are the concerns? And how does this potential new model in publishing affect art librarianship? Susan Augustine, Head of Reader Services at the Art Institute of Chicago’s Ryerson and Burnham Libraries, will preview the Art Institute’s digital catalogues and discuss the creation process, the challenges, and the many potentials of this new format. * *Q&A for Susan* (10 minutes) * *Wrap up/Other business?* (5 minutes) If you are interested in serving a three year term with the Museum Division starting next year as the AWS News Contributor, please email me directly or talk to me at our upcoming meeting.
