Dear Colleagues,
There have been many interesting comments today about the retrospective
indexing of Art Index. As someone who was on the Art Index tour, I
am quite sure I understood Alison Dickey to say that the retrospective
indexing from the early years to 1984 was coming, and not just
something they'd like to do someday. I believe Liz O'Keefe's minutes of
the mtg alludes to this. In fact, at one point, Ms Dickey asked the group
whether we would prefer that they retain the old subject headings or use
more current ones. This indicates, at least to me, that they've actually
started looking at the work that will be involved.
Can anyone on the tour confirm my recollection?
