If there is a group convened to explore the issue of full text art
journals, they might look into the poor citations in some of the
databases. Since they are not cheap products, I expect correct issue
numbers and years.

Subject: Re: [ARLIS-L] Full text Journals
Or a Task Force to exlore new models:
The problem here is that we as librarians are not in the driver's seat
in the development of these new products--is anyone in ARLIS-land
exploring the creation of products similar to Synthesis, but
specifically for
the fine arts?

This is a call for many of you out-of-the-box thinkers.
That's what we need, a fast car and us behind the wheel.

Dear Colleagues,
I know that particularly in Academic Libraries we are always
pressured to find Full-text journal articles. Often, the packages
that our libraries purchase contain few, if any important full text
journals in the Arts (with obvious and notable exceptions). Thus,
Fine Arts Libraries are left behind in the online library environment
and often overlooked in funding initiatives.
After listening to a discussion of the new CSA Illustrata product
which will make available scientific images in full text journals, I
wondered if an opportunity has come to leverage more full text
availability for Arts journals. At least four major Art and
Architecture databases (Avery, BHA, DAAI, and ArtBibModern) are
currently available through CSA Cambridge Scientific Abstracts. Will
CSA also be making images in art and architecture journals available
through CSA Illustrata? I think it would be a good time to talk
about this.
I would like to see ARLIS form a Task Force to leverage more online
access in our field. Perhaps we could also collaborate with our
colleagues in ACRL-ARTS and VRA to present a stronger presence. I
would hope that we could meet with our colleagues in the Avery and
BHA User Groups in Atlanta to start the ball rolling.
Would anyone else be interested in such a group/task force? Is this
something the Board would find useful?
thanks,
lucie
