----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I have received more requests to forward information on the Allison Research Index of the Arts than I have received information about the database---so if anyone has anything to contribute, please respond to the list. Since the index gives details of research projects more than bibliographic information, I'm wondering if its primary use is as a reference to contact researchers for access to unpublished material, or simply to guide researchers away from starting projects that someone else is working on. If anyone knows of other uses, I'd appreciate knowing. Tom Riedel, University of Wyoming >We have just subscribed to ARIAD at Nottingham Trent University.

It is not like ABM as it >gives details of research projects rather than references to journal articles. >It would not be appropriate as a major database for undergraduates. >Sharon Potter >Information Specialist >Fashion & Textiles and Design Does anyone experienced with the Allison Research Index of Art and Design (either UK or Australia) have observations on its usefulness? Does its coverage and scope complement that of BHA and Artbibliographies Modern? Tom Riedel University of Wyoming [log in to unmask]
