The theme for this year's Virtual Symposium is "Users of Arts & Humanities Digital Collections." Digital libraries and archives enable Internet users to access entire worlds of information at their fingertips. Who are these users? What meaning do they take away from digital collections? What do they do with digital collection content? What are the different investigative tools that information scholars can use to answer these questions?



Five presentations will answer these questions from different perspectives. A diverse range of librarians and information scholars will present their research, methodology, and experiences measuring and facilitating access to arts and humanities digital collections.



A full program with abstracts will be available in March 2018. Please check this site<http://www.asis.org/SIG/SIGAH/2018/02/12/2018-virtual-symposium/> or RSVP for updates.
