Editor's note

Abstract

This issue of the I Art libraries journal i brings together six articles based on presentations and talks given at the ARLIS UK & Ireland 2019 Conference, held at the University of Glasgow. Laura Schwartz discusses the UC San Diego Visual Arts and Architecture Digital Collections, with two case studies that highlight collaborative strategies for art librarians developing local primary source digitisation projects. It is impossible to foresee at present the medium and long term consequences of the pandemic for art libraries and art documentation, but the ALJ editorial team will endeavour to continue to support our community and to serve as a place for communication and exchange on an international level.
