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.

It is definitely worth the campus outlay, and that's how it should be
