The University of Oregon Arts and Administration Program, School of Architecture and Allied Arts is pleased to inform you that the 1995 Workshop in Visual Resources Collection Fundamentals: Current and Emerging, will take place in Eugene, Oregon, June 26-30, 1995. Presented for the first time in Eugene, this workshop is a revised and updated version of previous workshops offered at the University of Texas at Austin.

This workshop will concentrate on basic subjects related to the management of visual resources collections. Its purpose is to inform the visual resources curator, librarian, or image manager of some of the major topics involved in the development, management, and operation of a visual resources collection. Included will be both theoretical and practical information about aspects of collection management, as well as demonstrations of new electronic tools used in descriptive cataloging and information retrieval. This year's workshop will conclude with a focus on classifying and cataloging art and architecture collections in light of the new technologies for access and retrieval. The format of the workshop includes lectures, discussions, some hand-on activities and demonstrations.

TOPICS: - Acquisition and collection development - Conservation and maintenance of visual collections - Circulation control and access services - Administration and management - Copyright issues - Facilities planning - Descriptive cataloging and classification - New electronic tools (e.g., ICONCLASS, the Art and Architecture Thesaurus, the new Union List of Artist Names, and the soon-to-be released Thesaurus of Geographic Names)

SPEAKERS: - Nancy Schuller, University of Texas at Austin - Christine Sundt, University of Oregon, Eugene - Murtha Baca, Getty Art History Information Program - Susanne Warren, Art and Architecture Thesaurus
