This session will provide an overview of the Future of Art Bibliography Initiative, its goals and progress to date as well as explore with attendees pathways to increased community-wide participation and directions for expansion of FAB Initiative projects. This 4th Annual Update will also emphasize how each of the FAB projects is working to promote open access to art historical content, especially fully-digital content. Presenters will report on progress in each of the three FAB Initiative project tracks, specifically: the Getty Research Portal, artlibraries.net and its collaboration with OCLC, and web-archiving. Presentations will include demonstrations of new online discovery environments, ongoing technical developments, and reports on research initiatives. Presentations will be followed by facilitated breakout sessions designed to engage attendees in discussions that focus on how to increase community involvement in each of these FAB Initiative tracks, as well as surface new ideas for expansion of the FAB Initiative to other areas of activity.
