Colleagues,
Please note that I had trouble submitting this posting. Apologies in
advance if it appears twice!
Re the discussion of the Virtual Catalogue for Art History (VKK), it's
worth noting that this is one of several facets of the admirable portal
site, arthistoricum.net (see
http://www.arthistoricum.net/). Like its several facets, this is
available in multiple languages including English; see the flags in the
upper right hand corner or go directly to
http://www.arthistoricum.net/index.php?id=7&L=1. For background
information on arthistoricum.net - a product of a collaboration between
the Zentralinstitut fuer Kunstgeschichte, the University of Heidelberg
Library, and other affiliated institutions, see "About us" (English) at
http://www.arthistoricum.net/index.php?id=81&L=1
Among other very promising resources to which this site provides access
are:
Art-Guide - a searchable directory of more than 2000 art history web
sites and with helpful definitions of organizational names, etc. English
version at http://www.arthistoricum.net/index.php?id=11&L=1
Art-Dok - a nascent self-service, fulltext publication platform for art
history with a growing array of articles, many of them submitted by
their authors as electronic reprints of pieces published in journals
etc. The interface for Art-Dok seems to exist in German only at this
point. See http://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/artdok/
ARTicles Online - based on the VKK union catalog but focusing on
indexing of articles in art history journals published exclusively
online. English page: http://www.arthistoricum.net/index.php?id=235&L=1
New acquisitions lists - assembled from major art libraries worldwide.
English page: http://www.arthistoricum.net/index.php?id=8&L=1
Finally, the site offers an RSS feed for staying current.
Worth a look!
Best,
Max Marmor
