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 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, 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
