Subject: Re: [ARLIS-L] FW: [ARLIS-L] Artstor or Bridgeman databases
Trudy and ALL,
To add to a well-worn song, ARTstor has become second only to JSTOR as the
most used database on grounds for us here at UVA. We subscribe to ARTstor as
well as host our Art Dept. ARTEMIS and Library KORE Teaching Collections on
ARTstor. We are now adding the Museum image collection as well. In
addition, we get thousands of vendor purchased images delivered through
ARTstor and we access our SAHARA collection via ARTstor. It is a very
pleasant image world indeed.
I am interested in knowing about Bridgeman Education as well. Thanks for the
discussion.
