Please join us for the ACRL Arts Virtual Midwinter Discussion Forum on Wednesday, January 6, 2016 , at 11 AM PST / 1 PM CST / 2 PM EST. REGISTER TODAY : https://acrl.webex.com/acrl/onstage/g.php?MTID=e85d56366ac4981e4abafec1245a28b45 Our exciting discussions are: Introducing the Artists’ Books Thesaurus Presenter : Allison Jai O’Dell, Metadata Librarian, University of Florida, George A. Smathers Libraries Summary : The Artists’ Books Thesaurus is a project spearheaded by a working group of the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA) Book Art Special Interest Group (SIG). It will offer a much-needed vocabulary for indexing artists’ books and their features, ultimately leading to enhanced discovery and cross-collection collocation of artists’ books. The first release--published as both a human-readable, illustrated, browsable, and searchable interface and in Linked Data formats--is ready for review at: http://tinyurl.com/abthes . This presentation will provide an overview of the Thesaurus and its functionality, as well as a history of the working group’s procedures, methods, and discoveries. Library and museum professionals will learn how to apply the Thesaurus to describe and access their collections. Ontology and thesaurus designers will learn how the group used visual content to overcome challenges in knowledge representation. Researchers and artists will learn how to engage with and contribute to the Thesaurus through their work and social media. Initial adoption of the Thesaurus will be voted on at the Book Art SIG meeting at the upcoming ARLIS/NA and VRA joint conference, “Natural Connections,” March 8-12, 2016, Seattle, Washington. This presentation gives the ACRL Arts community a sneak preview of the new Artists’ Books Thesaurus Commonwealth of Fine Art Video Presenter : Nell Chenault, Film and Performing Arts Research Librarian, VCU Libraries, Virginia Commonwealth University Summary : Virtual Library of Virginia has a project reviewing video and DVD holdings of eight doctoral institutions across the Commonwealth of Virginia. This presentation will focus on what this has uncovered about art education film holdings and use trends among these collections, as well as how this can help inform collection decisions for these collections and future media purchases for VCU. The Library Down the Hall Presenters: Steve Burton, Arts Librarian and Carey Huddlestun, Librarian Assistant Professor, Kennesaw State University Library System Summary : In this virtual discussion forum participants will learn about the advantages and disadvantages of having a subject specific library in close physical proximity to the college and departments it serves. The Performing Arts Library (PAL) at Kennesaw State University is a small, 700 square foot, one room library. Though funded and operated by the University Library System, the PAL is physically separate from the main library and housed in the institution’s College of the Arts (COTA). The PAL contains COTA subject specific material, e.g., play scripts, music scores, study scores, and chamber music. In addition, the PAL is staffed by librarians with performing arts degrees and experience and by student assistants who are performing arts majors. After a brief summary of the history of the PAL, this session will present how such close physical proximity between library and college effects liaison relationships, reference service, technical service, and collection development. The various advantages and disadvantages of such physical proximity will be presented and discussed. -- Ariel Turner ACRL Arts Publications and Research Committee Chair 2015-2017 Ariel Turner Discovery Librarian Art & Design and Foreign Languages Liaison Kennesaw State University 1200 Chastain Road, Suite 209 Kennesaw, GA 30144 Phone: 470-578-6273 [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/membership/join-arlisna Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
