Clearinghouse for Image Databases -- Part II, Project Summaries[Thanks to Howard Besser, Carl Jacobson, and Gerald Stone for their suggestions on the data elements form]
When submitting your image databases please use this format so we can build a fairly in-depth database of what exists, who to contact, etc. If you submit info on a database but don't fill in all the information, I'll still enter what you provide.
The Clearinghouse is housed on the University of Arizona Library's Gopher server (miles.library.arizona.edu). When submitting a project, send it directly to me via e-mail at mailto:sglogoff@miles.library.arizona.edu. I can post a weekly message to Imagelib announcing what has been added to the Clearinghouse.
Following are the data elements, and examples that Carl Jacobson and Gerald Stone submitted. Both may be found on the Clearinghouse under Institution and Media.
