> ANNOUNCEMENT
>
> The Frick Collection, which includes the Frick Art Reference Library,
> launched its comprehensive website on June 15th. The site at
> www.frick.org includes a virtual tour of the Collection by means of
> IPIX technology. Visitors to the website can wander through the
> galleries at their own pace. Along the way, interactive links provide
> additional visuals and documentation on selected works of art. The
> website is linked to FRESCO, the Frick Research Catalog Online, which
> includes over 50,000 records for source materials cataloged since
> 1985. Reference questions can be submitted to the Library through the
> site. It is hoped that the website will enable a far wider community
> of researchers to consult the Library's unique resources. Additional
> search features and selected links to outside sites and databases are
> also offered. Floyd Sweeting, Head of the Information Systems
> Department, coordinated its development  and describes it as follows:
> "This unusual website is much more than an electronic brochure, as it
> balances visual elegance with the provision of substantial resources."
> A steering committee representing all parts of the Collection and
> Library provided content. Vivian Gill, previously photoarchivist at
> the Library, was named Webmaster and is responsible for its
> enhancement and maintenance.  Please send comments to:
