Message-Id: <mailto:199411171615.KAA21261@library.wustl.edu> Date: Thu, 17 Nov 1994 09:13:02 -0700 From: Stuart Glogoff <mailto:sglogoff@DIZZY.LIBRARY.ARIZONA.EDU> Subject: IMAGELIB's Purpose--Bi-Monthly Posting To: Multiple recipients of list IMAGELIB
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 the list is to serve as a clearinghouse to announce image databases. Information is entered on the UA Library's Gopher server. Gopher to dizzy.library.arizona.edu, select #10 Images and then # 5 Clearinghouse of Image Databases. Projects in development may also be submitted to the Clearinghouse. Please consult "How to Submit Projects" which is entry 1. on the Clearinghouse's menu.
