----------------------------Original message---------------------------- May I urge any of you who may consider removing the Encyclopedia of World Art from your collections, now that you are getting the DOA to contact your institutions visual resources curator, or the VR people at smaller institutions in your area. The EWA, especially the index volume, is still a valuable and highly sought after item for visual resources collections, and many small schools and collections would be very glad to get one. Another possible use of the EWA would be to make it available wherever students are able to use a flatbed scanner. An old, broken-spined EWA would be a great source for illustrations for student papers, web-pages, etc. Eileen Fry Indiana Univeristy THINK IMAGES, NOT TEXT On Thu, 24 Oct 1996, Sue Maberry wrote: > ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- > We just received our copy of Dictionary of Art and we're in the process of > comparing it with the Encyclopedia of World Art.
