----------------------------Original message---------------------------- ------------------ The International Dada Archive at the University of Iowa Libraries is pleased to announce the unveiling of its online catalog, known as the International Online Bibliography of Dada. (We had originally planned to call it simply the =22DADAbase,=22 but our friends in New York beat us to = it=21) With some 19,000 titles, the online catalog currently includes about thirty percent of the titles in our card catalog. Grant funding will permit us to continue retrospective conversion at a good pace through the end of June. This is the culmination of twenty years of bibliographic work at the International Dada Archive. We owe a great debt of gratitude to many colleagues in ARLIS/NA who helped us in the early days of the project. In particular we are grateful to colleagues at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and at the Getty, who allowed us to microfilm documents in their collections. And of course there is another important ARLIS connection to this project. Long-time members will recall the days when ARLIS was headquartered here in Iowa City. At the time when Pamela Parry was executive secretary of ARLIS (initially a half-time job with no management firm to provide support=21), she was also bibliographer of the Dada Archive, and is the person who started the card catalog that has now become the International Online Bibliography of Dada. The bibliography is currently a database within the University of Iowa Libraries=92 NOTIS-based online system, OASIS. The University Libraries = will be migrating to a web-based catalog late this summer, at which point the IOBD will become considerably more web-friendly. In the meantime, you can access the IOBD via a Telnet connection at the following url: http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/cgi/oasis.cgi Enter your terminal type, hit return to bypass the log-on screen, enter = =911=22 to get into OASIS, then enter =22cho dada=22 to get into the IOBD. Below is more detailed information that will appear on our web site (http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/dada/index.html) as soon as we can update it. Timothy Shipe, Curator, International Dada Archive The University of Iowa Libraries timothy-shipe=40uiowa.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction to the International Online Bibliography of Dada The International Online Bibliography of Dada is the online catalog of the International Dada Archive at the University of Iowa Libraries. The catalog includes materials in all formats that have been cataloged for the collection, including books, essays in books, periodical articles, manuscripts, sound and videorecordings, and other media related to the Dada movement and to the individual dadaists. These materials are located throughout the University of Iowa Libraries, but are primarily housed in the Main Library and in the Art Library. Most of the manuscript holdings are on microfilms that were made in various public and private collections in Europe and North America in the early 1980s, with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Jerome Foundation. In addition to the online catalog, the International Dada Archive has a card catalog comprising the approximately 47,000 titles that were cataloged prior to March 1999. This catalog may be consulted at the Archive=92s = office in the Main Library building. The online catalog includes all materials cataloged for the Dada Archive since February 1999 as well as a substantial portion of the materials cataloged prior to that date. With the assistance of a University of Iowa Arts and Humanities Initiative grant, as of February 2000 approximately 30 percent of the titles in the card catalog have been entered in the Online International Bibliography of Dada. This effort will continue until the conversion of the card catalog is complete. The International Online Bibliography of Dada is currently maintained as a database within the University of Iowa=92s online system OASIS. At present, access is by means of a Telnet connection. As the University of Iowa migrates to a new Web-based catalog in the summer of 2000, the International Online Bibliography of Dada will become available with a Web interface. To enter the International Online Bibliography of Dada, click on the link. When the Telnet window opens, enter your terminal type (almost always V1). When the sign-on screen appears, simply press =22enter=22=97you do not need = an ID or password. When the next screen appears, type =221=22 to get into the = OASIS system. From the next screen you may type =22cho dada=22 to enter the International Online Bibliography of Dada. If you have trouble with the Telnet connection, please consult your computer support office. And don=92t despair=3B this will be much easier when our Web catalog comes up later this year=21 INTERLIBRARY LOAN (ARLIS members please note: the following statement is intended for members of the public using our web site. If art librarians have any questions about interlibrary loan, feel free to contact me directly. Naturally I will do anything I can to accommodate my ARLIS colleagues --Tim) The International Dada Archive has no staff to process interlibrary loan requests. Once you have identified a book or article of interest in the database, please use your library=92s interlibrary loan services to obtain the item if your library does not own a copy. Your library should treat the International Dada Archive as a =22lender of last resort.=22 For interlibrary loan purposes, the International Dada Archive should be treated as a special collection within the University of Iowa Libraries. Unpublished manuscript material (identified on the index screens as =22archiv-mss=22) cannot normally be loaned. __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] Administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner at: [log in to unmask]
