Dear colleagues
I am pleased to inform you that our Webmaster, Derek Crosley, has
implemented a new Search Engine on the ARLIS/NA Web Site. This should make
the site easier to use for all of us. You can try it out at
www.arlisna.org.
At the same time, here are the results of our recent mini-survey concerning
members' use of the section of the web site entitled 'ARLIS/NA Guide to the
World Wide Web'.
There were 39 replies. Almost all replied to questions 1-3.
1. Were you aware of the 'ARLIS/NA Guide to the World Wide Web'?
a. yes 23
b. no 15
2. When did you last use the 'ARLIS/NA Guide to the World Wide Web'?
a. in the last year 8
b. in the last 3 years 7
c. more than 3 years ago 6
d. never 17
3. How often do you now use the 'ARLIS/NA Guide to the World Wide Web'?
a. frequently 3
b. occasionally 8
c. never 27
4. If you have used the 'ARLIS/NA Guide to the World Wide Web', did it
answer your needs?
a. fully 2
b. partly 12
c. not at all 1
In view of the very low usage, the considerable work that would be required
to update and maintain these pages, and the existence of alternative sites
providing links to art information resources, the ARLIS Web Site Advisory
Board has approved their removal from the web site.
