Subject: DNER Collections Announcement: Sign up to the AMICO National
Trial
--Apologies for cross postings--
--Please circulate widely to interested parties--
***Sign up to the AMICO National Trial***
Higher education institutions in the UK are now invited to
sign up to access the AMICO Library on a trial basis. The
trial will conclude 30 days after the first person signs
up, so a rapid response to registration would be advised.
To register go to;
http://search.amico.org/jisc/JISC.trial.html
The trial is to allow institutions to reach a decision about
whether to subscribe to AMICO under the three year deal
for highly subsidised access arranged by the JISC.
Subscription rates are; 50 - 150 GBP per annum
in the first year, rising to 200 - 600 GBP in year three
depending on the size of your institution, and are
exclusive of VAT.
The 2000-2001 edition of the AMICO Library documents over
65,000 different works of art, from prehistoric goddess
figures to contemporary installations. More than simply an
image database, works in the AMICO Library are fully
documented and may also include curatorial text about the
artwork, detailed provenance information, multiple views of
the work itself, and other related multimedia.
Subscribers to AMICO will be able to access and use the
images for research, learning and teaching purposes.
This trial is announced in advance of the opening of
subscriptions to AMICO. An announcement to open
subscriptions will be posted shortly.
