Hello,
I am finalizing a presentation on Next Generation Online Catalogs for art
librarians. I want to make sure I cover all relevant bases, and would
appreciate any input you have to offer. (My apologies if this has already
been discussed on this list.)
Specifically,
1. Do you have or know of next-gen catalogs that include records of art
objects or their digital surrogates?
a. are these local images or incorporated from another site or system
(Flickr, Luna, ARTstor)
b. have you performed usability studies of the catalog that incorporated
these objects?
2. If not, what are the major obstacles or technological limitations for
including these records or the digital surrogates themselves in next
generation catalogs at this time?
Thank you in advance for sharing your time and thoughts.
Megan Macken
