Message-Id: <mailto:199408192344.SAA03291@library.wustl.edu> Date: Fri, 19 Aug 1994 14:37:20 -0700 From: Stuart Glogoff <mailto:sglogoff@DIZZY.LIBRARY.ARIZONA.EDU> Subject: About IMAGELIB To: Multiple recipients of list IMAGELIB <mailto:IMAGELIB@ARIZVM1.BITNET>
Please review and save this message for future reference.IMAGELIB is an unmoderated bulletin board for the discussion of image databases in libraries. Its purpose is to raise questions, solicit input, and share ideas. It is not intended to duplicate other lists nor to engage in technical discussions, such as World Wide Web server development and administration.
For this listserv, topics for discussions range from:
1. Accessing, retrieving, and displaying images from the Internet: preferences for particular interfaces, organizing directories on local servers, and preferences for particular clients.
2. Creating local image databases: scanning photographic and slide collections of scholarly value or regional significance; full-text.
3. Exploring issues such as copyright, permissions, and fair use.
4. Working with users to incorporate image databases in their courses and research. Sharing success stories and asking for advice.
Another function of IMAGELIB is to serve as a clearinghouse to announce image databases. Information is entered in the Clearinghouse directory on the UA Library's Gopher server--telnet to dizzy.library.arizona.edu and login as gopher.
In addition to existing image databases, we would like to receive information on projects that are in-development. This will be useful because many projects take months or years to complete. Knowing who is doing what could save others a great deal of time and promote sharing new ideas.
