VDB training course ‘Services and consulting formats of arthistoricum.net and the FID Performing Arts – your questions and impulses from working practice’

Date: Thursday, 07.11.2024 | 10:00-15:15 | Digital via Zoom

The training course will be held and organised by Dr Maria Effinger (Heidelberg University Library / arthistoricum.net / NFDI4Culture), PD Dr Dr Grischka Petri (FIZ Karlsruhe / NFDI4Culture) and Franziska Voß (Johann Christian Senckenberg University Library / FID Performing Arts / UAG Subject Indexing of the FID Working Group) in cooperation with Dr Benjamin Auberer from the VDB Commission for Subject Librarianship.

At the interface between the memory institutions and information infrastructures and the researchers in their respective target groups, the specialised information services (FID) have developed a wide range of services in recent years that are specifically geared to the needs of their communities.

In the VDB training course, arthistoricum.net – Fachinformationsdienst Kunst – Fotografie - Design and the Fachinformationsdienst Darstellende Kunst (FID DK) present selected services and advisory formats, such as digital publication services and standardised data services for the arts and cultural studies. In addition, two further contributions - by Dr Martin Völk (Augsburg University Library) and PD Dr Dr Grischka Petri (FIZ Karlsruhe / NFDI4Culture) - shed light on the handling and indexing of ethically sensitive content and ideological viewpoints in information resources as well as the legal aspects of orphaned / out-of-print works.

Based on the keynote speeches, we will also focus on your day-to-day work and open up the format to answer your questions in a practical way. We want to present and discuss the challenges of publication and intellectual property rights with you, e.g.

• How and where can publications from the arts and cultural studies be researched and found on open access platforms?
• How can I advise the users of my institution on the possibilities of OA publications?
•  What about the funding and financing of OA publications?
• What special features and hurdles, but also what opportunities arise here for the perennial problem of image rights and licences?
• Can protected images and digital copies be published freely, and does free access also have advantages when it comes to obtaining usage rights?
• What challenges are faced when indexing and standardising ethically sensitive objects and resources?
• What potential, but also obstacles, does working with and in the GND cooperative offer?
• What role do subject indexing and authority data work play in the future development of libraries and what is the current status of opening up to memory institutions (archives, collections, museums)?
• Which NFDI4Culture services can help with all these questions?
