This monograph profiles the digitization efforts of
eight North American university art, architecture, and design
libraries. Conducted in the summer of 2013, the interviews
shed light on a wide range of programs and initiatives,
exploring the challenges library heads have faced and the
successes they have experienced in digitizing their
collections. Interview subjects open up concerning their
digitization endeavors, including what's being digitized, and
covering their experiences with digital image collections such
as ARTstor, the challenges of digitizing in-house against the
prospect of outsourcing such work, potential licensing and
copyright issues, marketing the library's digital collections
via social media, equipment and staff matters,
prioritizations, and more. The results represent a broad
spectrum of digitization efforts in art libraries today, from
the newly-initiated to the well-seasoned veteran.
The following institutions are represented in the
report: Cornell University; University of Cincinnati;
University of Houston; Washington State University; University
of Manitoba; University of Florida; Santa Fe University of Art
and Design; and University of Chicago.
