Can digital art books ever match the prestige of print?
In short: While most academic disciplines have moved to digital, art publishing faces unique challenges. This discussion explores whether the hurdles facing art eBooks are specific to the medium or merely growing pains.
Ross Housewright of Ithaka S+R leads a conversation with Mark Polizzotti, Erika Hauser, and Jeff Carroll regarding the future of museum publishing. They examine whether the difficulties facing art eBooks—such as format, pricing, and user-friendliness—are unique to the art world or part of a broader shift in scholarly publishing.
The panel investigates whether these obstacles are real or imaginary and seeks to identify potential solutions for publishers, libraries, and researchers navigating the transition from print to digital.
