Online Scholarly Catalogues at the Art Institute of Chicago: From Planning to Implementation
Elizabeth Neely and Sam Quigley, The Art Institute of Chicago, USA
Abstract:
The very definition of an online scholarly publication suggests accessibility and functionalities beyond print—a complex and groundbreaking endeavor entailing many challenges and opportunities. In envisioning our version of the online scholarly catalogue, the Art Institute of Chicago’s goal was to create a publication that would embrace the exciting world of digital publishing without leaving behind the weight and authority naturally ascribed to the book format. This paper shares some of the issues and lessons learned in pursuing this ambitious undertaking.
Online Scholarly Catalogues at the Art Institute of Chicago: From Planning to Implementation
As part of an effort to shape the future of scholarly publishing, the Getty Foundation invited the Art Institute of Chicago and eight other museums to participate in a venture called the Online Scholarly Catalogue Initiative (OSCI).

Description
Kindle, i-Pad and beyond. The printed book is not the only way books are delivered and books are not the be-all and end-all of publishing.
But where are museums in this revolution? Can we re-imagine our publications as e-books? What do we need to put in place to do that?
