Now Available: VRA Bulletin Spring/Summer 2019 (Volume 46 Issue 1)

Dear Colleagues, 

I am excited to inform you that the latest issue of the Visual Resources Association Bulletin has just been published and can be viewed here:  https://online.vraweb.org/vrab/

This issue is the first fully open access Bulletin and is readily available to anyone with an internet connection - readers no longer need to sign in or be a VRA member in order to read the newest research on topics in the field of visual resources. This first OA issue focuses primarily on two topics - intellectual property rights and metadata - and features a variety of perspectives on both subjects.

Many thanks to each of the issue’s contributors and a reminder that the Bulletin is currently accepting submissions for its Fall/Winter 2019 issue. If you’re interested in publishing, don’t hesitate to reach out to Content Editor Hannah Marshall to discuss your article idea (marshall.hannah.marie@gmail.com). The submission process can be started on the VRAB website at: http://online.vraweb.org/vrab/. 

Enjoy the issue!
