------------------------------
Hi everybody! The Visual Resources
Collection/Slide Library at the Department of Art and Art History at
Stanford is pleased to host the VRA-Northern California chapter,
ARLIS-Northern California chapter, and the Museum Computer Network
California chapter joint meetings on Friday, November
15th.
The highlight of this meeting is a
presentation of LUNA Insight by David Rumsey, President of Cartography
Associates, San Francisco, and Director of Luna Imaging, Los
Angeles.:
The Digital Image Database: A New and Powerful Tool for
Libraries and Museums
This presentation will show how new
developments in database software have greatly expanded the uses of
digital image databases for Libraries and Museums. With these
new tools, image databases can be used for e-learning, exhibitions and
lectures, scholarly research and collaboration, and collection
management and development. The speaker will demonstrate these
concepts using the online AMICO Library, and art image database of
over 100,000 objects that he is distributing for a consortium of major
North American and European museums, http://www.amico.org, as
well as images from the award winning David Rumsey Historical Map
Collection,http://www.davidrumsey.com, which contains more than
1.5 terabytes of visual information. Software demonstrated will
include Insight by Luna Imaging, ArcGIS by ESRI, search visualization
tools, image watermarking by Digilock, and others. Sharing,
combining and cross searching of online databases from different
institutions is now possible and will be demonstrated, showing how we
can combine materials from the above two databases with databases from
universities such as Yale and Stanford. Also discussed will be
the development of online shared archives such as the Open Archives
Initiative, integrating image databases into Library online catalogs,
opening database structure to commercial search engines for greater
public access, and future software developments that will enhance the
power of librarians and curators to manage these digital resources and
fully integrate them into the goals and programs of their
institutions.
