ANNOUNCEMENT FROM GROVE ART ONLINE
This month Grove Art Online launched an outstanding group of editorial
and technological enhancements, including a new Explore feature, a new
art image program, and updated content.
EXPLORE Grove Art Online
Grove Art Online now offers the innovative EXPLORE feature, enabling
users to customize searches with combinations from five major subject
categories: Art and Art Forms, Geography, People, Time Periods, and
Styles and Cultures. Explore is a powerful and sophisticated tool
which offers users the ability to browse over 45,000 articles in over
170 categories in the visual arts. Now users of all levels of
expertise, ranging from the young student to the senior research
scholar, can easily survey the immense richness of Grove Art Online
content. For example, users can now create a list of all articles in
Grove Art Online related to Italian sculptors of the Renaissance, or
view all articles pertaining to photography in the twentieth-century.

Art Image Program
Grove Art Online begins a new art image program to illustrate
important articles with key images in art history. Now, in response to
overwhelming user demand to integrate images with articles, color
images will be available through hyperlinks within the text of
articles for the first time. Users can find illustrations for major
works of art in articles such as: African American Art, Cassatt,
Delacroix, Michelangelo, and more. The integrated images will be
accessible from the body of the article and from the Illustrations tab
in the relevant articles. For a list of articles enhanced with
illustrations this month, go to
http://www.groveart.com/grove-owned/art/whats_new_200409_images.html.
Grove Art Online will continue to direct users to a variety of online
image resources including Art Resource, Bridgeman Art Library and
links to museums and galleries. View these art image collections at
http://www.groveart.com/grove-owned/art/image_collections.html.
Users will also notice that we have consolidated the external image
options to offer one single Image Links tab at the article level. Now
all image link options are displayed in one location to make it even
easier to navigate from text to images. See, for instance, the article
on Michelangelo for an example of how the new tabs appear.
