    <pre> This resource helped me when the M/MC was getting Photoshare off the ground. I think it will continue to be helpful if i
     stays current - if new image databases are scouted out and encouraged to submit information. I like to learn about new dditions - particularly what software they use and what features make their services unique and impressive.

    Hello Imagelib'ers,

    I am posting this message to ask for your input on whether to continue maintaining the Clearinghouse of Image Databases http://www.library.arizona.edu/clearinghouse/

    The Clearinghouse has been a companion resource to IMAGELIB since its inception in the mid-90s. Over the past couple years, I've wondered whether the Clearinghouse should continue. It's not much work for me, so that is not an issue. Rather, because of the limited number of submissions the past couple years, the abundance of high quality search engines, and our ability to post announcements/queries to IMAGELIB, can you suggest reasons to continue maintaining the Clearinghouse?

    I would appreciate messages either to the listserv or directly to me mailto:(stuartg@u.arizona.edu) over the next week or two.

    Thanks, Stuart
