Part 2 of a series of discussions about books, ebooks, and the future of museum publishing. 

Even as scholarly publishing in most disciplines makes the transition from print to digital, art ebooks have encountered hurdles in providing the same measure of reward to publishers, libraries and researchers. Issues of format, content, pricing, selection and user-friendliness persist. Are these hurdles real or imaginary? Are they truly specific to art publishing? If real, what prospects are there to solve these problems—and where will they come from? 

Presentation by Erika Hauser, Librarian, Collection Development at the Thomas J. Watson Library
