Dear ARLIS-L list members, Artifact has recently joined this list and we thought we would introduce the service to you. Apologies if this is not the type of message to send to this list. Artifact http://www.artifact.ac.uk is a guide to the best of the Web for the Arts and Creative Industries, and forms part of the Resource Discovery Network (RDN) http://www.rdn.ac.uk Artifact aims to be the UK Higher and Further Education first choice for accessing quality Internet resources for teaching, learning and research in the arts and creative industries. Although Artifact is designed primarily for use by those in UK education, it is relevant to anyone involved in any aspect of the arts and creative industries and is freely available to anyone with access to the Internet. Each resource and web site in Artifact is selected by subject specialists and librarians for its academic quality and subject relevance and includes a description of the resource's key features. The Artifact Internet Resource Catalogue can be browsed by a subject or searched using a specific keyword. Artifact covers all of the major Arts and Creative subjects including: Advertising Architecture Antiques Market Art history Contemporary Art Crafts Culture & Heritage Design Fashion Film Fine Art Media & Communications Music Performing Arts Photography Publishing TV, Radio, Film & Video Textiles 3D Design and so on....see more for yourself at http://www.artifact.ac.uk Artifact is funded by the UK Higher Education Funding Councils via the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) http://www.jisc.ac.uk Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions about the Artifact service, or even better, suggest your favourite resource to be included in Artifact at: http://www.artifact.ac.uk/suggest.php Or send your feedback on the service at: http://www.artifact.ac.uk/feedback.php Warm regards The Artifact Team __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org//membership.html Send 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 (Kerri Scannell) at: [log in to unmask]
