Error during command authentication.
Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started.
Just to clarify, there are four current
vendors of the old AMICO content: OCLC (CAMIO), Wilson, Luna Imaging, and
ARTstor. Each has a different interface, along with differences in the
size and quality of the images and the downloads. Trials are certainly
warranted. We find the content good for art history in general (minus the
major pieces in world museums or in situ), better for 20th century
(but not contemporary) and best for studio areas such as photography,
printmaking, ceramics, drawing, etc. as American museums are rich in those
areas.
When you’re comparing, be sure to
focus on the quality and ease of the image download and the “visuality”
of the interface, i.e. how many thumbnails can it present at once (the more the
better), can you sort your return easily by date or creator, and do the
thumbnails come up with enough information to be usable (i.e. is only a short
title displayed, but not a creator or culture to help identify them)

The original AMICO
content on which CAMIO and all the other current manifestations are based was
limited to objects in American Museums. It is still object-oriented.
It’s not an architecture image base.
