All,
Evidently Corbis Images for Education: Historical Collection will no longer
be available to libraries as of July 1. It will be made available for free
to art and design departments/schools only- for free- in which the
departments must manage access. I'm concerned especially about this because
researchers of all persuasions can and do use this database. It also
contains the Bettman Archive that is not available elsewhere. The spirit of
this seems very off-center to me.
What are your opinions on this? Does anyone on this list have insights as to
real reasons for this change? Are there any image databases that you use
that you feel are comparable? Bridgeman Educational images has been one
suggestion.
