Authors<\/h2>\r\nThe creation of this OER suited to visual studies is a direct result of the years of pedagogical practice and dedication to the discipline of art history by Loren Lerner, an art historian much beloved by decades of students who have passed through Concordia University\u2019s Department of Art History. It is equally the result of Lerner\u2019s collaboration with curator Karine Antaki as the book\u2019s co-author and designer. Her design and art historical background and her collaboration with librarians and students to implement the resulting web design contributed significantly to the realization of the project.\r\n

Students<\/h2>\r\nConcordia University\u2019s Open Educational Resources program run through the Library made this open textbook project possible. As successful Create Grant recipients, the authors, Loren Lerner and Karine Antaki, with the backing of Cynthia Hammond, Professor, Department of Art History, worked closely with Concordia\u2019s students in the Art History program. Through the Create Grant, students August Fallone, Emma Dye, Louis-Philippe Savard, and Elliot Mann produced image citations for the public domain images, bibliographic citations for an extensive bibliography of online and print resources, biographical sketches and artist video vignettes on YouTube. Special thanks go to Elliot Mann for his extensive work, integrating the images, their citations, and alt text into Pressbooks in accordance with the open textbook\u2019s design protocols.\r\n

Librarians<\/h2>\r\nWe are also deeply grateful for the support of Rachel Harris, Scholarly Publishing Librarian, who leads Concordia\u2019s OER program. As a researcher who focuses on the intersections between art history and book history, she recognized the importance of this project\u2019s value as an accessible open textbook at its inception. Harris offered extensive consultations to support the project from the beginning to its launch. Her understanding of the evolving design needs, facilitation of workflows, and co-development of solutions in collaboration with library colleagues contributed to a well-designed accessible book with text-image pairings in Pressbooks. We are grateful to Pamela Carson, Web Services Librarian, for her expertise in testing and finding the limits within Pressbooks and co-finding solutions to fulfill the designer\u2019s intent. With her skills in web design and accessibility standards, Carson developed a way forward with\u00a0 CSS and HTML templates for the customization needs of the project, and offered mentorship for their implementation.\r\n
