Art Libraries Meet the Challenges of E‐publishing: New Formats, New Players, New Solutions
12-14 August 2014
Recent years have seen an increase in experimental electronic publishing concerning the visual arts. Art publishers are not simply reproducing traditional print publications electronically; they are also creating remarkable works with unique digital functionalities. Artists, arts organizations, and publishers worldwide use applications, e-book readers, and Web resources in order to produce original artworks and new art resources. These new publications—media-rich, collaborative, open-ended, or immersive—are extending the scope of art publishing.
In collaboration with the Institut national d’histoire de l’art (INHA), the Art Libraries Section of IFLA is organizing a three‐day conference in Paris focused on visual arts e‐publishing. The conference will be held at INHA’s headquarters 12‐14 August 2014. The three days will be divided between two morning sessions with conferences and round table discussions, and three afternoons devoted to site visits and demonstrations in Paris museums and libraries.
Papers can present innovative e‐publishing efforts in the visual arts, explore the theoretical and technological underpinnings of such projects, or address the challenges libraries face in collecting, preserving, and providing access to this new, avant‐garde digital heritage.
Proposals must be submitted in electronic format, by email, and must contain:
Sandra Ludig Brooke, Chair of the IFLA Art Libraries Section [email protected]
Véronique Thomé, Paris Organizing Committee [email protected]
Christine Ferret, Paris Organizing Committee christine.ferret @inha.fr
