For special collections libraries and art museums, encouraging engagement with rare, fragile, or otherwise vulnerable works that must be handled to be fully experienced is a quintessential problem. Stephen Woodall, collection specialist at the Reva and David Logan Collection, will discuss his institution’s efforts to address this dilemma through recent initiatives that establish a template for the translation of artists’ books into electronic media. Woodall will outline the promising advantages to this approach, and discuss the significant limitations of electronically distributed art.
