*AMICO - a collection of digital art images from American
Museums.*
The AMICO Library makes multimedia documentation of
artworks from the collections of leading museums across
North America available to universities, colleges, schools,
and public libraries. 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.
More information is available at
http://www.amico.org/home.html
AMICO will be available for subscription for all UK higher
education institutions at a highly subsidised rate. The
initial subscription period will be 3 years.
Subscription charges will be 50 - 150 GBP pa
in the first year, rising to 200 - 600 GBP in year three,
depending on the size of your institution. This represents
a considerable reduction in list prices.
Details of how to subscribe will be posted on the JISC
website at http://www.jisc.ac.uk/collections
