Join ACRL for the e-Learning webcast, “*/Digital Futures: New Directions
in Art Librarianship/*/,/” on Wednesday, May 21 (1:00 – 2:30 p.m. Central).
Digital Humanities, Scholarly Publishing, Open Access, Born Digital
Content, the Future of the Book: Each of these topics has vast
ramifications on how libraries collect, maintain, and make available
information. But how do these themes impact the subject or
discipline-specific library? This webcast
<http://www.ala.org/acrl/artlibrarianship>will focus on how art
libraries are responding to the transition to digital scholarly
publishing and born-digital content in ways that are important to the
broader scholarly community. During this live, interactive webcast
<http://www.ala.org/acrl/artlibrarianship>, examine the following themes:
1: The Leading Edge: art and the digital humanities
2: The Bleeding Edge: archiving born-digital art content
3: The Trailing Edge: challenges of e-publishing in the arts
Presenters will illustrate how initiatives that are taking place in
academic and museum art research institutions are not only innovative
but can provide leadership and momentum for librarians in any field.
This webcast is co-sponsored by the Art Libraries Society of North
America (ARLIS/NA), in coordination with its Professional Development
Committee
