Art Y'all! Dallas Cowboys Contemporary Art Collection

Kick off your contemporary art experience by joining our tour of the AT&T Stadium, home to the Dallas Cowboys and a world-class collection of contemporary art. This unique docent-led tour of the Dallas Cowboys Art Collection brings you face-to-face with works by famous artists: Mel Bochner, Matthew Ritchie, Olafur Eliasson, Annette Lawrence, Lawrence Weiner, Anish Kapoor, Jenny Holzer, and many others who celebrate and challenge the culture of celebrity sports in our present-day society.
  
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his family hired an art advisor to form an advisory council of curators and cultural leaders from the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Together, they selected paintings, sculptures, photographs, and digital media, including sixteen commissioned works of art, to make up this collection. See the two largest pieces in the stadium, each covering nearly 4,000 square feet of wall space: an untitled relief by Jim Isermann and From a Legend to a Choir by Trenton Doyle Hancock. The Art Ambassador for the Dallas Cowboys, Phil Whitfield, who worked closely on site with the artists during their installations, will lead this tour. Before the tour, download the free AT&T Stadium Art app.

Performance on a Grand Scale: Bass Hall
A preeminent cultural icon of the Dallas-Fort Worth community, the Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Performance Hall is the permanent home to major performing arts organizations of Fort Worth: the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, Texas Ballet Theater, Fort Worth Opera, and the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition and Cliburn Concerts. Occupying a full city block in downtown Fort Worth, the Bass Performance Hall was built in 1998 entirely with private funds.
 
Go backstage on a tour that spotlights the ornate limestone architecture of the 2,056-seat multipurpose Hall, which is typical of the classic European opera house form. The Hall takes center stage for its superb acoustics, exceptional sight lines, and ambience, on level with the great halls of the world. Designed by David M. Schwarz/Architectural Services, Inc., the building includes an 80-foot diameter Great Dome, artfully painted by Scott and Stuart Gentling, which tops the Founders Concert Theater. Two 48-foot tall angels, sculpted out of Texas limestone by Marton Varo, embellish the Grand Façade. As you behold the beauty of this grand hall, imagine the performances held here in Fort Worth, Texas.

Lassoing Attention, Corralling the Class: Mindfulness-Based Pedagogy for the One-Shot
Instructors:
Deborah Ultan Boudewyns, Art & Architecture Librarian, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities
Lindsay Keating, Arts & Architecture Librarian Project Assistant, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities
Jill E. Luedke, Art & Architecture Librarian, Temple University
 
Pioneering pedagogies that use mindfulness and reflective techniques in the classroom can help students settle their minds and roundup their attention to be more receptive learners. A growing number of programs and centers point to alternative teaching approaches that incorporate mindfulness, contemplation, and engaged learning environments. Notable educators are undertaking poignant research and writing on the topic of mindfulness in education. Research demonstrates that “contemplative pedagogy” and the integration of mindful practices into higher education facilitates the achievement of traditional educational goals such as improved cognitive and academic performance. 

Incorporating mindfulness practices into library instruction can create engaging learning environments in which both teacher and student are focused and attentive to each other. Teaching librarians often arrive to classrooms where students, distracted by competing priorities and electronic devices, are not tuned into the guest lecturer. How can librarians compete with these distractions? By personalizing the classroom and creating a collective body with mindfulness practices, instructors have the opportunity to cultivate student awareness and focus. Mindfulness pedagogy removes the assumption that the mind is both radically distinct from and of greater value than the body, and erases the foundational dichotomization of mind and body.
 
In this workshop, the spirit of the ancient East meets the grit of the Wild West to create an engaged learning environment. Using research on the benefits of contemplative and mindfulness-based pedagogies, mindfulness techniques will be discussed then applied. Facilitated mindfulness group exercises will offer various methods attendees can apply in their classrooms, and from which they can guide students in gaining lifelong research skills with greater awareness, patience, and focus.

Participants should dress comfortably for light exercise.
Participants will receive an ARLIS/NA yoga mat to take home!

What Can I Do With This Image?
Speakers:
 
Rethinking Reproduction Fees — Anne Young, Manager of Rights and Reproductions, Indianapolis Museum of Art
 
Image Rights and the Digital Scholarly Monograph — Patricia Fidler, Publisher, Art and Architecture, Yale University Press 

The Role of Copyright in Museum Strategies — Elizabeth Townsend Gard, Jill H. and Avram A.

Moderator:
Ian McDermott, Collection Development Manager, Artstor
 
The easy availability of art and cultural heritage images has paradoxically resulted in confusion when it comes to use and reproduction. Students, scholars, and curators often have very unrealistic expectations of Fair Use, and many turn to their librarians to interpret copyright law and facilitate licensing. However, image permissions for scholarly publishing pose a continuous challenge to even the most knowledgeable librarians. Open content resources are an attractive solution, but the wide variety of permitted uses can perpetuate confusion. The demand for high quality images for scholarly publishing remains high even still, and librarians, scholars, and publishers all play critical roles in the advocacy and use of image collections. This panel will explore how images for scholarly publications are made available and present tools that librarians can use to navigate the murky waters of image ownership. 

The Indianapolis Museum of Art’s image licensing model actively supports students, researchers, and scholars, by not charging reproduction fees for study, presentation, or scholarly publication. Anne Young will review this model and the external image resources with which the IMA has partnered to promote access to its collection images.

Image rights and reproductions for both print and digital art books remain a primary concern for scholars and publishers alike. Yale University Press recently led a Mellon-funded grant to investigate models for digital scholarly monographs. Patricia Fidler will summarize Yale University Press's past work and discuss future steps.

Elizabeth Townsend Gard will talk about The Durationator, a software tool that determines the copyright status of any work anywhere in the world. Her presentation will feature a demonstration of the Durationator and a discussion of how this tool can impact a museum’s ability to share images of their collections online.

BRIT: Sustainable Architecture in Texas
The BRIT (Botanical Research Institute of Texas), a research center with a herbarium of over 450,000 specimens and a botanical library, is a prime example of a sustainable LEED platinum building and campus. See up close what qualifies as a LEED platinum building under the guidance of a certified LEED architect.

The building was designed to accomplish several key goals: reduce energy and water consumption, enhance indoor environmental quality, and use recyclable and renewable materials. This was achieved through daylighting, photovoltaic panels (solar energy), low-flow and low-energy fixtures, low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) materials, wool and linen furnishings, certified wood products, and recycled-content steel and rubber, to name a few. In addition, the BRIT landscape — with its native plants, vegetated walls, bioswalls, living roof, and retention pond — was designed to eliminate use of potable water, reduce overall maintenance costs, curb energy consumption, extend the life of building materials, mitigate urban heat island effects, and manage onsite stormwater. Become sustainable savvy.

Think Big: Considering Large-Scale Digitization
Instructors:
Drew Krewer, Digitization Operations Librarian, University of Houston
Teresa Soleau, Digital Library Specialist, Getty Research Institute 
Luciano Johnson, Digital Preservation Librarian, Frick Collection 
Neil Sreenan, Manager, Digital Asset Systems, Dallas Museum of Art

As institutions ramp up digitization efforts, cultural heritage professionals are faced with a wide range of challenges and opportunities. This unconference-style workshop is intended for those interested in or currently involved with large-scale digitization models. The workshop will consist of lightning presentations by members of the library and museum communities who are engaged with both large-scale and small-scale digitization and metadata efforts.

The core of this workshop, however, will be participant-defined and tailored to address specific institutional challenges in hopes of providing a practical forum for solving problems related to large-scale digitization. Potential discussion topics might include: “big data,” project management, audio/video, automation, discovery of digital collections, digital imaging technology, and more. All participants should plan on actively contributing to the discussion and should be prepared to share questions (and practices) with the group.

Sharing the Reins: New Angles on Instruction
Speakers:

Can Only Librarians Do Library Instruction? Collaborating with Art History Graduate Students to Teach Information Literacy — Katie Morrison, Arts Education and Regional Services Director, Tippecanoe Arts Federation
Alexander Watkins, Art & Architecture Librarian, University Libraries, University of Colorado Boulder

Embedded Faculty: Flipping the Concept of Embedded Librarianship to Create New Collaborations — Skye Lacerte, Modern Graphic History Library Curator, Special Collections, Washington University

Co-moderators:
Yuki Hibben, Assistant Head of Special Collections and Archives, James Branch Cabell Library, Virginia Commonwealth University
Heather Koopmans, Head of Reference, Jen Library, Savannah College of Art and Design
 
Librarians have long been at the forefront of initiating new ways to generate interest in collections and services. However, our communities are growing, scholarly practices are diversifying, and expectations of the library are expanding. In this time of rapid change, even the most dynamic librarians cannot ‘do it all’ on their own.

This session will illustrate two examples of how librarians have invited and engaged faculty and students to take leading roles in providing library services. More than collaboration, librarians can identify, develop, and empower key partners outside of the library to teach information literacy sessions, plan outreach events, build collections, and serve as spokespersons. By developing such partnerships, community awareness and engagement are strengthened, student and faculty partners enrich their personal research practice, and libraries gain fresh insights about their constituents — with relatively minimal expense of librarian time.

Katie Morrison and Alexander Watkins will examine a “train the trainers” model of information literacy education in a World Art Studies course at the University of Colorado, where graduate instructors ran their own information literacy classes following sessions with an art subject librarian. Katie and Alexander will also report on mutual benefits for librarians, graduate instructors, and undergraduate students recorded in the final analysis.
 
The Modern Graphic History Library reversed the traditional idea of an embedded librarian by appointing a faculty member with special interest and subject expertise to an embedded ʺFaculty Directorʺ position. Skye Lacerte will discuss this new approach to embedded librarianship at Washington University and how it proved to be a powerful tactic. With the Faculty Director working closely with library staff and advocating for the library’s collections and programs, this novel approach benefitted both the faculty of WU and the library.

FACES: Faces, Art, and Computerized Evaluation Systems — Conrad Rudolph, Professor, Department of the History of Art, University of California, Riverside

How Computers are Reading the Picture — Andrew Ellis, Director, The Public Catalogue Foundation, London, UK

Moderator:
Deborah Kempe, Chief, Collections Management & Access, The Frick Art Reference Library, The Frick Collection
 
Visual image analysis is a relatively new tool on the digital frontier. While most programs that analyze data to date have been text-based, this session’s presenters will highlight significant developments in image-based analysis that will be invaluable to future art researchers as well as catalogers.
 
The Frick’s Photoarchive partnered with JQuery pioneer John Resig to apply his groundbreaking computer vision analysis software to their digitized image collection. Louisa Wood Ruby will discuss how this collaboratively developed toolkit for image analysis has already revolutionized the Frick’s cataloging practices and how it will be invaluable for the success of the newly formed International Digital Photoarchive.

Conrad Rudolph will talk about three University of California, Riverside scholars who launched a research project to test — for the first time — the use of facial recognition software to help identify unknown subjects of portrait art. This project may ultimately enrich the understanding of European political, social, and religious history.
 
Andrew Ellis will describe how the UK’s Your Paintings project is working with Oxford University’s Visual Geometry Group (Department of Engineering Science) on various projects including one that uses advanced image recognition software to tag the UK’s oil painting collection.

The Art of DH: An Introduction to Digital Humanities Tools for Art Librarians
Instructors:
Sarah Osborne Bender, Visual Resources Curator, American University
Sarah Falls, ‎Head of the Fine Arts Library, Ohio State University
Jenna Rinalducci, Art and Art History Librarian, George Mason University

We’ve all heard about digital humanities. The research data is often visual in nature, but how does it fit into the work that art libraries do? 

During this four-hour workshop, participants will be introduced to a variety of free and open-source software tools that can be used to support research using digital humanities methodologies. Tools for activities such as visualization, timelines, and mapping and image recognition will be covered to help art librarians re-envision art resources and better support researchers as they move toward new modes of inquiry. Participants are encouraged to identify small data sets, images, or other information that they would like to organize in new ways and bring to the course. The first three hours will provide a survey and light training of these tool, while the last hour will allow for more engaged work using a specific tool and data set, hopefully yielding innovative results! 

Approximately one month before the workshop, a set of links will be sent out for download of software. Each participant will be expected to blog on a Wordpress site about their expectations for the workshop, as well as results. Participants may have the opportunity to share innovative projects created through this workshop as part of the conference's Poster 2.0/Emerging Technology Forum joint event.

All participants must bring their own laptops.

Maggie Portis will lead an interactive session that conceptually expands mentoring by identifying and discussing unexpected arenas for future mentoring. Geared towards mid- and late- career librarians whose mentoring needs and relationships continue to shift, this session will kick off with Heather Slania, the mentoring committee chair, who will discuss the first ten and the next ten years of ARLIS/NA mentoring. A lightning round of speakers will then highlight areas for facilitated discussions. Discussion topics will include: identifying mentors, being a mentor and a mentee at once, arranging mentoring opportunities, keeping expectations real, solving problem-based mentoring, and navigating sticky situations. Maggie will close with a discussion on the Imposter Syndrome and how it can impede mentoring. This will lead to the final activity where participants share one thing at which they excel with someone new.

Library Services for Working Artists: Beyond Research to the New Frontier of Practice
Speakers:

The Picture Collection: A Century of Inspiration — Billy Parrott, Managing Librarian, Art and Picture Collections, Mid-Manhattan Library, New York Public Library

Artist in the Library: A Case Study — Claire Kennedy, Archivist/Librarian, Studio of John Baldessari

Public Libraries: The Working Artist’s Toolbox — Dayna Holz, Librarian, Art & Music Department, Berkeley Public Library

Moderator:
Dayna Holz, Librarian, Art & Music Department, Berkeley Public Library

Students, historians, faculty, and curators go to art libraries to research the work of artists. But how do artists themselves use art libraries? What more we can do as librarians to support their work? This session will explore ways art librarians can work with practicing artists and how we can reach out to this population of content creators to meaningfully engage with library resources and services.

Since 1915, the Picture Collection of the New York Public Library has been inspiring creativity in its users. Billy Parrott will discuss how it remains relevant even in this digital age of Google Images as an unparalleled visual resource for creative people.

Claire Kennedy will explore relationships between artists and academic, public, and personal libraries. Using a case study, she will specifically discuss her role as librarian and archivist to the artist John Baldessari and examine the types of resources artists find useful for artistic inspiration and production.

Public librarians support working artists by developing targeted collections, curating exhibitions in public space, and providing a bridge between art school and becoming a rock-star artist. Dayna Holz will explore some of the techniques librarians employ to effectively serve this patron base.

1 + 1 = 3 (The sum IS more than the parts.) : Connections Within and Between Texas Digital Collections
Speakers:

Stronger Together: Making Connections Through the Portal to Texas History — Tara Carlisle, Digital Scholarship Specialist, University of Oklahoma Libraries, formerly Project Development Librarian, External Relations, Portal to Texas History, University of North Texas
 
Exhibitions in Context: Dallas Museum of Art and the Portal to Texas History — Hillary Bober, Archivist, Dallas Museum of Art

Made Together in Texas: Building the Hill Texas Archive Through Partnerships and Collaborations — Michelle Johnson, Project Manager, William J. Hill Texas Artisans and Artists Archive, Bayou Bend Collections and Gardens, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston

Moderator:
Margaret Culbertson, Director, Kitty King Powell Library and Study Center, Bayou Bend Collections and Gardens, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston

By initiating and encouraging partnerships and collaborations, the William J. Hill Texas Artisans and Artists Archive and the Portal to Texas History successfully created substantial digital collections that collect and curate disparate digital collections and data. These virtual collections and their metadata enable a wide range of users to satisfy both traditional and unexpected research needs. The speakers will review a sampling of these partnerships, including the Dallas Museum of Art’s cataloging and presentation of archival exhibition materials through the Portal. The session will explore the collaborative process, digital and metadata results, and current usage of collections, while also considering how these factors might influence future digital collection building and collaboration.

The Portal to Texas History consists of more than half a million digitized materials from over 250 partner institutions within Texas. Tara Carlisle will discuss how researchers can discover interesting connections between formerly disparate collections through this shared online repository. By successfully pooling collections to create a rich resource for scholars, educators, and students, the Portal serves as a model for collaboration.

Hillary Bober will outline the tangible and intangible benefits of the Dallas Museum of Art Archives partnership with the Portal, as both a vendor and an access and discovery tool. The cataloging and presentation of past exhibition materials in the context of both the Portal and the Dallas Museum of Art website will be a highlight.

The William J. Hill Texas Artisans and Artists Archive is a hybrid digital database containing collections from the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and partner institutions, as well as primary sources. Michelle Johnson will discuss this digital home for a variety of file formats and metadata schema. She will also expand on the importance of successful collaboration and good communication among partner institutions as they strive for data uniformity.

Future of Art Bibliography: Sustaining Collaboration in an Evolving Landscape

Speakers:

Art Discovery Group Catalogue — Wendy Fish, Director, British Architecture Library

The Cicognara Project — Alexandra Büttner, Project Coordinator, Heidelberg University Library

Web Archiving: An International Perspective — Kristen Regina, Director, Head of Archives & Special Collections, Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens
   
Co-moderators:
Carole Ann Fabian, Director, Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library, Columbia University
Kathleen Salomon, Assistant Director, The Getty Research Institute

Five years since its inception, the Future of Art Bibliography (FAB) initiative has accomplished a great deal in provoking institutions to imagine the ‘collective collection’ and to develop collaborative methods of work to achieve that goal. FAB has helped to launch three platforms that aggregate content and define a new bibliographic arena for collecting institutions. In each instance, ARLIS/NA member institutions have formed collaboratives and engaged service-providing organizations to develop platforms that collocate new forms of bibliographic records and digital content.

While FAB has maintained its focus on creating an aggregate discovery space for bibliographic records, digitized content, and archived websites, the landscape around the projects continues to shift and evolve. With three trajectories in production mode, FAB faces the question of how these three complementary projects overlap with other national and international projects that also seek to harmonize emerging content with bibliographic discovery. The 2015 FAB session will report on the progress of each of these projects and set them within the context of other national and international collaborative efforts. In addition, the session will discuss long-term strategic goals, business models, and operational sustainability across the FAB initiative projects.

This Town is Big Enough for All of Us: Managing Assets Across an Organization
Speakers:

Keep them doggies rollin’: Digital Asset Flow in the Large Museum — Evan B. Towle, Librarian for Digital Collections and Services, Philadelphia Museum of Art

On the LAM: Integrating Library, Archives, and Museum Collections in an Open Source Information Management System — Tessa Brawley-Barker, Assistant Librarian, Glenstone
Julia Weist, Senior Archival Consultant, Whirl-i-Gig

Wrangling Digital Assets and Breeding Collaboration in Digital Repository Work — Nicole G. Finzer, Visual Resources Librarian, Digital Collections, Northwestern University

Moderator:
Evan B. Towle, Librarian for Digital Collections and Services, Philadelphia Museum of Art

Real-life models defy the prescribed script for digital asset management and call on information professionals to build new workflows into already built organizations. This panel presents three scenarios addressing disparate digital materials, constituents, and needs. In one, a large museum concentrates workflow and organizational health around digital assets. In another, a small museum utilizes a single tool and workflow for bibliographic, collection, and archival assets. In the third, a large university adopts the needs of widely disparate collections in both the humanities and sciences. 

While books in a library travel a well-worn path, digital assets in a museum do not. More than a technical obstacle, this is an organizational one. Evan Towle will address the journey of digital assets and metadata through the Philadelphia Museum of Art and their organizational readiness for comprehensive digital asset management.

As a solo museum librarian at Glenstone, Tessa Brawley-Barker will discuss her collaboration with external developers and other internal departments to create an interoperable information management system and discovery platform for the library, archives, and art collections. With Julia Weist from Whirl-i-Gig, she will give a system demonstration and discuss project goals, successes, and challenges.

Nicole Finzer will discuss the role of the library supporting digital repository work by providing an overview of how Northwestern University Library manages the life cycle of digital assets. Her focus will be the use of scrum methodology, which defines the library’s technical needs by involving an array of stakeholders to articulate the policy, criteria, and strategies for ingesting digital assets, to successfully collaborate across multiple units across campus.

Performance on a Grand Scale: Bass Hall
A preeminent cultural icon of the Dallas-Fort Worth community, the Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Performance Hall is the permanent home to major performing arts organizations of Fort Worth: the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, Texas Ballet Theater, Fort Worth Opera, and the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition and Cliburn Concerts. Occupying a full city block in downtown Fort Worth, the Bass Performance Hall was built in 1998 entirely with private funds.
 
Go backstage on a tour that spotlights the ornate limestone architecture of the 2,056-seat multipurpose Hall, which is typical of the classic European opera house form. The Hall takes center stage for its superb acoustics, exceptional sight lines, and ambience, on level with the great halls of the world. Designed by David M. Schwarz/Architectural Services, Inc., the building includes an 80-foot diameter Great Dome, artfully painted by Scott and Stuart Gentling, which tops the Founders Concert Theater. Two 48-foot tall angels, sculpted out of Texas limestone by Marton Varo, embellish the Grand Façade. As you behold the beauty of this grand hall, imagine the performances held here in Fort Worth, Texas.

Moderator:
Sarah Falls, ‎Head of the Fine Arts Library, Ohio State University

Digital Humanities is a collective term that describes a new means of conducting research and presenting scholarly output throughout all fields in the Humanities. Currently in its infancy, DH initiatives on campuses and art research centers take many different forms, often anchored by local champions or collections and flavored by institutional cultures and the research needs of those whom the initiatives support. Beliefs persist that the arts languish somewhere behind the curve of mainstream academia in embracing new means of discovery that are conversely reliant on visual media. This panel will prove that for arts research methodologies, careful movement forward and consideration are needed to further disciplines.

At the crux of arts-based research methodologies is the study of the image. At the basis of art historical research is the comparison of images and tracing of progression of styles. Large textual data sets provide researchers valuable archival and research information, but digital image sets and the apparatus to study them visually are also needed to help the discipline progress forward to new research paradigms. As librarians, how do we help with that progression? How does the work take place to help our users define sets of images for study and relate them to textual data? Are there tools for image analysis and for managing large research sets? How can existing image metadata be used in the context of the Digital Humanities and in supporting our researchers?

Work continues at Texas A&M University to design tools that help scholars explore, analyze, and understand visually constructed meaning in document images in large-scale collections. Neal Audenaert will present an overview of this current work with an emphasis on the University's collaboration with the HathiTrust Research Center's Workset Creation for Scholarly Analysis.

As interest in Digital Humanities swells and researchers innovate around examining large corpora of data, new opportunities for revealing huge repositories also emerge. Peg Knight will consider some of our earliest collaborations with researchers and highlight some groundbreaking data mining work on visual data sets.

The ubiquity of image- and video- based social media platforms like Instagram, Tumblr, and Vine give art history students an opportunity to engage dynamically with contemporary imagery in a live setting. Spencer Keralis will describe how engaging critically with images in social media can provide valuable insights into audience response to contemporary and historical art. This interaction offers students exposure to concepts of metadata, text mining, information literacy, data visualization, and copyright and fair use.

Liz Grumbach will discuss the challenges and rewards of supporting visual culture projects from the perspective of a Digital Humanities initiative, in particular the Initiative for Digital Humanities, Media, and Culture (IDHMC) at Texas A&M University. The IDHMC supports and guides faculty projects, participates in large grant-funded projects, and has recently opened the new Humanities Visualization Space. By considering these endeavors, Liz will present project details, potentials tools, and methods for cultivating and managing visual culture projects.

How the Web Was Won: Collaborative Approaches to Web Archiving
Sponsored by Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium

Speakers:

Establishing and Growing a Multi-Institutional Web Archiving Collaboration for the Collaborative Architecture, Urbanism and Sustainability Web Archive (CAUSEWAY) — Anna Perricci, Web Archiving Project Librarian, Columbia University Libraries, Columbia University

Collaboration Beyond Crawling — Jefferson Bailey, Program Manager & Partner Specialist, Internet Archive

Strong Links: Web Archive Management at NYARC — Karl-Rainer Blumenthal, NYARC National Digital Stewardship Resident, The Frick Collection

Going Paperless, Getting Lost: The Future of Artist Ephemera — Anne Simmons, Reference Librarian for Vertical Files and Microforms, National Gallery of Art Library

Moderator:
Sumitra Duncan, NYARC Web Archiving Program Coordinator, Frick Art Reference Library, The Frick Collection

Gain insight as speakers examine collaborative approaches to archiving web-based art and architecture resources and learn how each initiative is helping shape the new frontier of art librarianship. As materials are increasingly available as web-exclusive content, creative solutions are required to capture potentially ephemeral resources. Presenters will share actionable insights, representing collaborative web archiving initiatives at Columbia University Libraries, the New York Art Resources Consortium (NYARC), the Internet Archive, and from within the ARLIS/NA Artists Files Special Interest Group (SIG).

Anna Perricci will detail the challenges faced and progress made in the formation of the Collaborative Architecture, Urbanism, and Sustainability Web Archive (CAUSEWAY). Funded by a multi-year grant fostering collaborative web archiving, CAUSEWAY is a pilot project curated by art and architecture librarians in the Ivies Plus Art and Architecture Group.

The Internet Archive's Jefferson Bailey will focus on strategies for collaboration outside the area of collection development by examining ways that institutions can support and enhance web archiving through joint, coordinated efforts in areas such as research and development, assessment, policy, technical infrastructure, and user services.

As the first National Digital Stewardship Resident embedded in a multi-institutional library collaboration, Karl-Rainer Blumenthal will relay quality assurance and long-term preservation strategies for the web archive collections shared among the partners of the New York Art Resources Consortium (NYARC).

Anne Simmons will discuss how information, once conveyed solely through paper media, has moved online. This shift has created a crisis for those preserving the documentation of an artist's career. The Artists Files SIG attempts to address these concerns with recent efforts, including an initiative using Archive-It to capture, store, and provide access to artists’ born-digital ephemera.

Moderator:
Shannon Marie Robinson, Fine Arts Liaison Librarian, University Libraries, Denison University

Many art librarians have advanced subject degrees and expertise. Eric Wolf will talk about how scholarly publishing not only allows us to grow as specialists, but also as librarians, raising our profile and stature among our colleagues. Such activity is personally fulfilling and helps us understand our constituencies. Scholarly activity without a faculty or curatorial title can present some strange, interesting, and at times funny situations.

Writing and publication provide opportunities for librarians to move their profession forward. Experienced editors and writers of ARLIS/NA Reviews, ARLIS/NA Multimedia & Technology Reviews, the Society’s scholarly journal Art Documentation, and the book The Twenty-First Century Art Librarian will discuss publishing options and practicalities. These presenters will offer perspectives on writing reviews, sending queries to editors, understanding the peer-review process, and collaborating with authors. Writers of reviews, articles, book chapters, and blogs will share their experiences and discuss publishing expectations associated with tenure-track positions.

In addition, speakers will also present perspectives on writing for online publications and will address aspects of open access publishing, including author agreements, post-print, and institutional repositories. By providing practical information on writing and publication that includes getting started in publishing, overcoming writer's block, and managing time, attendees will take away useful tools for their professional development.

Doing Digital Art History: Redefining Art Librarianship
Sponsored by ARLIS/NA Texas-Mexico Chapter

Speakers:

Reframing the Portfolio at Mid-Career: Digital Humanities and the Liaison Librarian — Susette Newberry, Art Librarian, Assistant Director of Research & Learning Services, Olin & Uris Libraries, Cornell University

Digging into Digital Art History Data — Lindsay King, Public Services Librarian, Robert B. Haas Family Arts Library, Yale University

Art Librarian Recast — Lyndsay Bratton, Digital Scholarship and Visual Resources Librarian, Shain Library, Connecticut College

Moderator:
Heather Gendron, Head, Sloane Art Library / Coordinator of Assessment, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

In response to developments in digital scholarship, many arts and humanities librarians find themselves racing to acquire technical expertise to help scholars take advantage of emerging tools and strategies. The three presenters in this session will examine ways to meet these challenges through the implementation of innovative digital tools and reimagined roles for librarians that supplement and complement existing models of scholarship and professional practice.

Speakers will also consider professional development strategies, such as their participation in two summer institutes funded by the Getty Foundation. These institutes are aimed at helping art librarians learn alongside faculty to meaningfully engage with the tools and critical perspectives of digital humanities. They will also discuss work in progress on collaborative digital humanities projects. These opportunities situate librarians at the frontiers of scholarship as partners in creating and disseminating knowledge.

Experienced librarians have already mastered many digital humanities building blocks. Susette Newberry will reflect on the Getty-sponsored “Rebuilding the Portfolio” institute and the importance of reframing expertise. She will also highlight the liaison librarian’s role in extending knowledge of digital art history through collaborations that embrace emerging modes of discipline-focused scholarship and pedagogy.

The Getty-sponsored “Beyond the Digitized Slide Library” institute taught scholarly digital tools to art historians already working on various projects, as well as critical perspectives on what “doing digital art history” means. Lindsay King will talk about her work at the institute analyzing art-historical data in the Vogue Archive.

Lyndsay Bratton will discuss strategies for navigating new iterations of art librarianship in the Digital Age, as shrinking budgets and changing technological landscapes inspire increasingly multilayered job titles. Her newly created role rooted in an instructional technology department throws into relief the challenges of bridging traditional and emerging professional identities.

Telling Stories: Regional Artists and Their Art
Sponsored by Jane Myers McNamara

Speakers:

Interviews with Texas Artists — Craig Bunch, Assistant Librarian, McNay Art Museum and author of Collage and Assemblage in Texas: The Interviews

Working with Raw Materials — Pete Gershon, Program Coordinator, Core Residency Program, Glassell School of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and author of Painting the Town Orange: The Stories Behind Houston’s Visionary Art Environments

Stories Potters Tell: Documenting Clay and Community in Minnesota's St. Croix Valley — Jessica Shaykett, Librarian, American Craft Council

Moderator: 
Pete Gershon, Program Coordinator, Core Residency Program, Glassell School of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston author of Painting the Town Orange: The Stories Behind Houston’s Visionary Art Environments

“Life is short, but art endures,” wrote Hippocrates. Indeed, art objects are likely to survive across generations, but the life stories of their makers, especially those of obscure regional artists, are far more ephemeral and too often lost to time. Fortunately, there are intrepid art historians, journalists, and researchers who seek to capture this information and preserve it for posterity. How do they organize their projects? How do they choose their subjects? What facts are gathered, and how is this information recorded, stored, and disseminated? This panel of three researchers will answer these questions as they discuss their experiences in documenting the work of regional artists.

Having interviewed 64 Texas artists from 2010 to 2013 for his forthcoming book from Texas A&M University Press, Craig Bunch will discuss his project in terms of how it came to be and how it progressed. The use of found materials is one of the major threads running throughout the book, tentatively titled: Interviews with Texas Artists.
 
Pete Gershon will discuss the process of collecting interviews and finding other primary and secondary source material he used to write the book Painting the Town Orange: The Stories Behind Houston’s Visionary Art Environments. 

In the St. Croix Valley of Minnesota, an anomalous community of potters host an annual cooperative tour attracting thousands of visitors nationally. Jessica Shaykett will share how staff at the American Craft Council Library initiated an ambitious year-long project to record and distribute the personal narratives of participating ceramists.

Collaborations Abroad: Success Stories from International Art Libraries
Speakers:

Building Bridges of Collaboration: Spotlight on Latin American Art — Isabel Ayres Maringelli, Chief of Library and Museum Archives, Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil
Ranieli Piccinini Machado Shinohara, Librarian, Casa Daros, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Class, Not Mass: A New Database for Art and Museum Libraries, Archives, and Related Institutions — Sybille Hentze, Chief Librarian, Albertina, Vienna, Austria
Andrea Neidhöfer, Chief of Archive, basis wien, Vienna, Austria

The Virtual Monastic Library of Abbey Lorsch: Potential and Challenges of an International Digitization Project — Alexandra Büttner, M.A., Heidelberg University Library, Germany, Heidelberg, Germany

A Local or a Worldwide Libraries Network? — Fernando Corona, Library Coordinator, National Museum of Art, México City, México

Moderator:
Sylvia Roberts, Liaison Librarian for Communication & Contemporary Arts, Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, BC and ARLIS/NA Board Liaison to the International Relations Committee

The arteLA group is an example of how to break the old, but still present, frontier between countries in Latin America. Isabel Ayres Maringelli and Ranieli Piccinini Machado Shinohara will talk about their goal to disseminate Latin American Art Information Resources by strengthening collaboration among Latin American Art Librarians and to establish collaborative relationships with other continents.

Andrea Neidhöfer and Sybille Hentze will discuss a big problem with online directories — in this case, a directory of art institutions — which is keeping them up-to-date while administering data like addresses, opening hours, staff changes, or other developments in regard to user modalities. User experience has demonstrated that the larger the number of institutions a directory contains and the wider its geographic scope, the less precise and reliable the information it offers. One runs the risk of losing users, who will not use the platform again. This is why librarians have made deliberate selections, in terms of geography (Austria) and discipline (the visual arts), when filling their database. They believe that limitations with regard to personnel and time, both of which are indispensable for administering a database, are necessary in order to improve the quality of a database and, above all, sustain it in the long run.

Through the international digitization project “Bibliotheca Laureshamensis — digital,” the dispersed library collection of the UNESCO-World Heritage Site Abbey Lorsch has been reconstructed online. Alexandra Büttner will present a paper that focuses on the potential and challenges of virtually reuniting medieval manuscripts from institutions as far apart as Los Angeles and Bucharest.

One of our problems in a contemporary globalized world is the aim of concentrating resources in large spaces that simulate big warehouses. Fernando Corona will talk about a similar thing that is happening in the world of libraries. With the propensity to concentrate everything, we forget that a network is exactly the opportunity of interconnections.

Blazing New Trails in Library Architecture
Speakers:

ʺMove to the Light”: Humanism and the Art Museum Libraries of Louis I. Kahn: The Kimbell Art Museum and the Yale Center for British Art — Kraig Binkowski, Chief Librarian, Reference Library and Archives, Yale Center for British Art

Learning from Hunt Library: The Use of High-Tech Spaces — Karen DeWitt, Director, Design Library, North Carolina State University

New Library Architecture: Innovative Buildings = New Ways of Working? — Margaret Smithglass, Registrar and Digital Content Librarian, Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library, Columbia University

Moderator:
Catherine Petersen, Library Director, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art

Libraries are continually ascending from the basements of Beaux-Arts mansions, embracing light-filled study rooms, and supporting the needs of creative researchers. This session’s speakers offer creative solutions and exciting possibilities for 21st century learning spaces.

The libraries of the Yale Center for British Art and the Kimbell Art Museum along with the museums that house them were designed by the great American architect, Louis I. Kahn. Kraig Binkowski will look closely at the unique humanistic experience that Kahn created for these learning spaces.

Design faculty and students at North Carolina State University fully embrace the visualization spaces at the innovative Hunt Library. Karen DeWitt will talk about spaces and technologies in Hunt Library, how design students and faculty use them, and offer suggestions for technologies that could be added to enhance existing libraries to support design faculty and students.

The physical spaces of academic, public, and special libraries have all experienced enormous changes in user needs and behaviors in the last decade. Margaret Smithglass will present highlights of recent international design work that not only supports these changes but facilitates new methods of research and communication for all patron types.

Known Unknowns and Unknown Knowns: Privacy, Secrets, and the Limitations of Archives
Speakers:

Cultural Expectation of Privacy and Archives in Qatar — Tiffany Schureman, University Archivist, Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar; co-author, Annabel Armstrong-Clarke, Digital Media Archivist, Virginia Commonwealth University

Spies Like Us?: Scholars, Spies, and Secrets in ICFA's Archives — Shalimar Fojas White, Manager, Image Collections and Fieldwork Archives (ICFA), Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collections

Cultural Protocol vs. Academic Privilege: Researching Indigenous Cultures — heather ahtone, James T. Bialac Assistant Curator of Native American and Non-Western Art, Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, University of Oklahoma

Moderator:
Shalimar Fojas White, Manager, Image Collections and Fieldwork Archives (ICFA), Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collections

Researchers encounter two types of secrets in archives. Sensitive information may be restricted to address issues of privacy or confidentiality. Alternatively, records relevant to a particular query are either not preserved or were never created. Archivists must mediate a balance between providing the public with broad access to archival materials and respecting the concerns of individuals, whether creators, donors, or subjects. The papers in this session will explore the lacunae and limits of archives, whose holdings may not adequately reflect the voices of marginalized communities or whose policies must be adjusted to respect differing cultural norms. The speakers will also consider the ethics embedded in managing archives, as they relate to privacy, confidentiality, cultural sensitivity, and even a bit of espionage.

In Qatar there is an expectation of privacy as it relates both to images of people and names associated with images. Tiffany Schureman will present a paper she co-authored with Annabel Armstrong-Clarke that discusses how the Virginia Commonwealth University Archives tries to find a balance between respecting the cultural importance of privacy in this region and providing access to images.

Using examples from the Dumbarton Oaks Image Collections and Fieldwork Archives, Shalimar Fojas White will investigate parallels between archival work and espionage. She will also explore how discovering links to intelligence agencies enriched the understanding of the archives’ creators, as well as the ethical issues involved with managing scholarly archives that contain sensitive information.

The academic community has constructed an extensive body of knowledge on Indigenous communities using “traditional” Euro-American a priori accepted assumptions. heather ahtone will examine how the published body of knowledge about tribal communities is not synchronous with the lived body of knowledge held by tribal communities.

New professionals are defined as either students in MLIS or Master's programs leading to a career in art librarianship or visual resources, or those within five years of Master's level study. For many, this is their first professional speaking engagement.

This panel began at the ARLIS/NA 2006 Annual Conference in Banff and has since received wide attention and praise. Topics presented reveal new ideas as well as different ways of thinking about established concepts. Speakers give the conference attendees a glimpse of academic interests and current discourses of the newest ARLIS/NA members. The New Voices session is organized by the Professional Development Committee, ArLiSNAP, and the Gerd Muehsam Award Committee.

Beyond the Page: Wrangling Alternative Formats
Sponsored by Amigos Library Services

Speakers:

Contemporary Artists' Recordworks in Academic Libraries — Susan Thomas, Coordinator of Reference Services, Assistant Professor, Long Island University

Preserving Digital Art: The Challenges that Digital Art Presents to the Traditional Art World — Carmen Cowick, Preservation Librarian, Amigos Library Services

Quality Control Tools: Resources for Managing and Reformatting Audiovisual Materials — Kristin MacDonough, Coordinator for the AudioVisual Artifact Atlas, Technology and Preservation, Bay Area Video Coalition

Moderator:
Lori Salmon, Senior Librarian, New York Public Library

Complex formats such as audiovisual materials, digital artworks, and other new media are increasingly collected by libraries of all types, not simply special archives. Alternative formats present a variety of challenges for catalogers, policymakers, and preservationists. In this session, panelists will share their experience providing access to three alternative formats: audiovisual materials, digital art, and multi-media projects. They will also present good practices for preserving these complicated — but important and increasingly common — materials.

Contemporary artists’ recordworks  provide opportunities for librarians to work solo or collaborate with music librarians and educators to collect a unique genre of artists’ books. Susan Thomas will describe recordworks — analog objects that combine audio recordings like vinyl records, cassettes, or CDs with printed matter — and discuss how they reflect the enduring popularity of analog media among creatives.

Carmen Cowick will offer advice on how to preserve digital art by discussing the various approaches to preservation undertaken by different institutions and art professionals. She will also share resources describing best practices for digital art and resources for continuing education programs for art librarians/museum professionals.

Quality Control Tools for Video Preservation was a two-year NEH-funded project organized through the Bay Area Video Coalition (BAVC) in partnership with independent consultants. Kristin MacDonough will present and demonstrate the resulting projects, the open source software (QCTools), and the development of the online resource (AudioVisual Artifact Atlas).

Speaker:

Focus on the Learner: Strategies for Improving PowerPoint Presentations — Lee A. Hilyer, Head of Access Services, M.D. Anderson Library, University of Houston

Slide presentations are common at meetings, conferences, and in the classroom. But are they effective at helping the audience understand the content, or do they merely serve as teleprompter for the speaker? Learning and instructional research indicates that the current way many people prepare and deliver slide presentations may actually hinder learning instead of supporting it. Lee Hilyer will present three simple, evidence-based rules you can use to create more effective, learner-focused presentations.

Place-Based Discovery: Broadening Access with Geolocation
Speakers:
Margaret Smithglass, Registrar and Digital Content Librarian, Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library, Columbia University
Chris Sala, Architecture Librarian, Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library, Columbia University

Moderator:
Martha González Palacios, Art and Architecture Librarian, University of Oregon

There is no doubt that geospatial metadata can aid the discovery of resources by providing contextually situated information. For materials related to the built environment, geocoding street addresses or other geographical identifiers adds tremendous value; these facilitate the use of maps as access points, in addition to more traditional interfaces like library catalogues or finding aids.

In this session, Chris Sala and Margaret Smithglass will present two projects currently underway at the Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library that leverage geospatial metadata to enhance discoverability. They will introduce geolocation in general terms and suggest strategies and tools for geospatial metadata enhancement of legacy records by discussing the two projects, The Seymour B. Durst Old York Library and the Built Works Registry (BWR), each with very different parameters and goals.

One case demonstrates how geotagging records can enhance limited geographical data available from well-established controlled vocabularies, such as Library of Congress Subject Headings, while the other shows the use of geospatial metadata to disambiguate name variations of architectural structures.

Beth Morris, Assistant Librarian, Reference Library and Archives, Yale Center for British Art

Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web and current Director of the W3C, has called linked open data (LOD) efforts “the most potentially world-changing” movement. Linked data, the first practical expression of the Semantic Web, forms a set of best practices for publishing and connecting structured data by utilizing URIs (Unique Resource Identifiers) and RDF (Resource Description Framework).

The Semantic Web will allow structured data to be discovered, enhanced, and/or acted upon automatically, thereby making the data more useful beyond the confines of individual repositories. LOD sets allow others, including machines, to connect, visualize, and interpret data in ways that the original publisher may not have imagined. Addressing this critical work will help the ARLIS/NA community maximize the accessibility and interoperability of our works of art and research resources.

In this session, Sarah Seymore and Julie Simic will discuss how the University of Oregon migrated its digital collections to a new content management system and to linked open data (LOD). Specifically, she will give a practical description of the methodologies used for transitioning to LOD with a focus on the visual resource and historic photograph collections.

Jon Ward will present his paper that explores issues surrounding releases of the Getty vocabularies — Art & Architecture Thesaurus® (AAT), Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names® (TGN), Union List of Artist Names® (ULAN), and Cultural Objects Name Authority® (CONA) — as LOD, which have been described as “game changers” in accessing art information.

Multi-National Perspectives on the Future of Collection Development
Sponsored by YBP Library Services

Speakers:

A Terrible Beauty: Challenges and Opportunities in Art Publishing in the UK — Martin Flynn, Head of Information Services, Word & Image, Victoria and Albert Museum

The Space You Leave Behind is as Important as the Space You Fill: Some Observations on North American Art Publishing — Sandra Brooke, Librarian, Marquand Library of Art and Archaeology, Princeton University

Publishing Trends in Latin America — Gary Ginther presenting for Selene Hinojosa, Collection Development Librarian, Alkek Library, Texas State University

Moderator:
Gary Ginther, Fine Arts Librarian, Ohio University

In this session, academic and museum librarians will discuss art publishing trends in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Latin America. The panel will explore emerging patterns in publishing: print vs. e-book, experimental and traditional publishing, and the challenges and opportunities information professionals face. The speakers will discuss how they advocate for print publications, which continue to be the predominant format for art publishing, as well as how they explore the emergence of the e-resource in the arts.

Art publishing in the UK demonstrates a growth in sales of hard copy books. Martin Flynn will examine the reasons behind this trend together with its implications for art libraries. In addition, he will explore the influence of factors such as public subsidy, library purchasing, and e-publishing models. He will also outline the ways in which the Victoria and Albert Museum is negociating the still-preferable landscape of print publishing, while keeping an eye on emerging print models.

Even as print remains a durable medium for art documentation and artistic expression, mainstream and experimental publishers in North America are increasingly responding to the pressures and rising potential of electronic platforms. Sandra Brooke will share her experience of investigating the possibilities of the electronic platform in her work at Princeton University.

Gary Ginther, presenting for Selene Hinojosa, will discuss current challenges and emerging patterns in his overview of art publishing trends in Latin America, particularly Mexico. The focus will be book fairs and specific publishers for purchasing Latin American books.

Postcards From the Edge VIII: I Didn’t Know Urban Planning Was About …

Speakers:

Barbara Becker, Professor, School of Urban and Public Affairs, University of Texas at Arlington
Patrina Newton, Senior Planner, Economic & Community Development, City of Fort Worth Planning Department
Brian Chatman, Content Strategy Coordinator, City of Fort Worth Open Data Portal
Cecilia Smith, Ph.D., Geospatial Librarian, Texas A&M University

Moderators:
Kathy Edwards, Research and Collection Development Librarian, Clemson University
Rebecca Price, Architecture, Urban Planning, and Visual Resources Librarian and Liaison, University of Michigan
Marsha Taichman, Visual Resources Librarian, Cornell University

In this year’s Postcards from the Edge session, a planning educator, two professional planners from the City of Fort Worth, and an anthropologist-turned-geospatial librarian will lead us through the wide-ranging academic and professional terrain of urban planning. Although not native to arts librarianship, planning is often co-located with design programs in schools or colleges dedicated to the built environment. More than a few architecture librarians carry additional responsibility for urban and regional planning and urban design, which necessarily include transportation, sustainability, resource management, housing, social justice, municipal order, policy and public affairs, historic preservation, urban agriculture, and more. Together the group will explore the challenge of meeting the multi-faceted and interdisciplinary needs of the planning community.

Barbara Becker, former Dean of the UT-Arlington School of Urban and Public Affairs, will address the academic scope of planning education and the needs of scholars and students. At the city scale, Senior Planner Patrina Newton will introduce Fort Worth’s planned Urban Villages and describe the issues, considerations, and data gathering that shape complex urban initiatives. Content Strategist Brian Chatman will explain the information design behind Fort Worth’s recently launched Open Data Portal and share some of the challenges of representing large data sets for public access. Finally, Texas A&M Geospatial Librarian Cecilia Smith, will demonstrate GIS tools and resources used by scholars and practitioners to collect, collate, analyze, and visualize data about urban environments and populations.

Architecture & Urban Planning Librarian Rebecca Price will facilitate discussion at the end of the presentations.

Found in Translation: Controlled Vocabularies in Other Languages
Speakers:

A Controlled Vocabulary to Support Art Documentation — Vánia Mara Alves Lima, Department of Library Science and Documentation, School of Communication and Arts, University of São Paulo
Ivani Di Grazia Costa, Library and Documentation Center Coordinator, São Paulo Museum of Art 

Cracking the Moche Code: Expanding Access to a Scholarly Photographic Archive — Shalimar Fojas White, Manager, Image Collections and Fieldwork Archives (ICFA), Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection

Moderator:
Tamara Lee Fultz, Associate Museum Librarian, Thomas J. Watson Library, Metropolitan Museum of Art

Controlled vocabularies have been utilized in the library world for so long that it is hard to envision a need for new vocabularies. From the Library of Congress vocabularies, to ALA’s RBMS thesauri, and to the Getty vocabularies, it may seem that every topic under the sun is covered. But that can only be a myopic view in the global digital world: if we want true interoperability for our systems in order to share our data on the Semantic Web, then vocabularies must consider all the world’s languages and their inherent complexities.

The speakers in this session will address how their institutions are dealing with issues of language within their vocabularies: such as how to develop methodologies for describing art in a language other than English and how to describe collections of non-Western art when the iconographic terminology does not exist in English. 

The São Paulo Art Museum and the University of São Paulo are working together to develop a methodology to update, improve, and manage a controlled vocabulary for art information. Representatives Vánia Mara Alves Lima and Ivani Di Grazia Costa will discuss the effort to define terms and establish categories along with the future steps necessary to establish conceptual relationships.

The Christopher Donnan and Donna McClelland Moche Archive visually documents the art and iconography of the Moche people of ancient Peru. Shalimar Fojas White will discuss the issues faced by Dumbarton Oaks in expanding access to a scholarly archive for non-specialist audiences. A particular challenge is the archive’s unique subject classification scheme.

Photographers' Self-Publishing: Contexts for Collecting Contemporary Photobooks
Speakers:

Ker-Pow! The ICP's Photobook Explosion — Deirdre Donohue, Stephanie Shuman Librarian, ICP Library, International Center of Photography

The Photobook in Flux — Tony White, Director, Decker Library, Maryland Institute College of Art

Photobooks From a photo-eye Perspective — Melanie McWhorter, Manager of photo-eye's Book Division, photo-eye

The Photobook Industry From a Photographer's Perspective — Keliy Anderson-Staley, Assistant Professor of Photography and Digital Media, University of Houston

Co-moderators:
Heather Gendron, Head, Sloane Art Library / Coordinator of Assessment, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Jon Evans, Chief Librarian, Hirsch Library, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston

Digital publishing allows photographers, from the self-taught to the well-established, new avenues for the promotion of their work and for creative exploration. Once considered by some as a type of “vanity” publishing, self-publishing today is widely accepted as a key part of artists’ portfolio-building and marketing strategy. Book publishing has become wildly popular for photographers, many of whom publish in multiple formats, from zines, apps, and print-on-demand books, to open editions, e-books, and “traditional” print books. They often self-fund publishing endeavors, selling books on their websites or through other means outside the librarian’s “normal” collecting stream. Needless to say, collecting photobooks in this environment is a challenge. Speakers will discuss the opportunities and economics of contemporary photobook publishing and will offer advice on keeping up with, collecting, and curating collections of contemporary photobooks.

Deirdre Donohue will talk about the transformative effects of digital publishing on artists at the International Center for Photography and the resulting impact on the ICP’s library. The ICP has embraced print-on-demand technology with MFA theses and Board presentations produced by Lulu and a new imprint called icp.edu launched in Fall of 2014.

Tony White will present a discussion and survey of photobooks, photozines, and related self-published materials by artists, designers, and photographers. In addition, he will address collection development and preservation opportunities, resources, and challenges, as well as touch on terms and terminology.

As both photographer and manager of photo-eye’s Book Division, Melanie McWhorter will present her perspectives on recent trends in photobook publishing and collecting. Using highlights from some of the incredible photobooks published in recent years, she will also outline the changes she has witnessed and the reasons why investing in photobooks is important.

Having made single-edition artist books, self-published through Blurb, and published with a publisher who required no financial contribution, Keliy Anderson-Staley has seen how the industry works at multiple points along the spectrum. She will discuss strategies photographers use to publish their work in the current environment and why they choose to self-publish.

Artists’ Books [Everywhere]: Creating an Innovative Reference Tool for Your Region
Instructor:
Michelle Strizever, Photo Archivist, U.S. House of Representatives

Collections of artists’ books tend to be hidden and difficult to access. Artists’ Books DC is a local, in-depth, and independent digital reference tool that increases access and outreach for hidden collections. As a successful tool for reaching researchers, the Artists’ Books DC model can be replicated in other regions.

The workshop will explain the steps necessary to create an in-depth, innovative reference tool about all the artists’ books collections in a region, including: how to research collections, what information to include, who the audience is, how to create the website, how to build community relationships and get feedback, and how to advocate for funding.

Attendees will learn to create social media campaigns that entice researchers to visit. While this workshop focuses on artists’ books digital reference tools, it provides a model of a robust resource for access and outreach that can be mobilized for many types of collections.

Maximum Participants: 20

Fee: $50
