Everyone, I would like to submit a proposal for the Chicago conference on Developing Image Databases for Research. This would ostensibly be "sponsored" by the Visual Resources Division, of which I am the current moderator. I am interested in speakers who could provide case studies from their institutions about image databases that have been created/are being created for research purposes from academic, library, museum, federated collections, etc., using a variety of platforms and covering a range of image content and media. These image databases could emphasize specific projects (e.g. faculty driven research), highlight important collections (e.g. library or museum), accompany a museum or library temporary exhibition, or even bring together disparate collections from different institutions. If you are interested in participating in such a session, please contact me directly this week with a brief paper proposal (limited to 150 words) at [log in to unmask] Thanks John John Taormina Curator of Visual Resources Communications and Exhibitions Coordinator Dept. of Art, Art History & Visual Studies Duke University ph: 919-684-2501 email: [log in to unmask] aahvs.duke.edu dahvc.org [cid:bd895a09-b7be-4f73-8bbf-25e57311877a] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/membership/join-arlisna Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
