For some time, ARLIS/UK & Ireland has been seeking to find a new name for the Union List of Art, Architecture and Design Serials, plus the forthcoming online directory of resources. After considering many possibilities, the Society recently took the decision to establish a new web site, called arlis.net. The intention is to distinguish between ARLIS/UK & Ireland as a corporate body (arlis.org.uk) and the services it offers directly to a wider public audience via arlis.net.
We're pleased to announce that the arlis.net web site is now up and running, at (you guessed it) http://arlis.net . The new site includes access to the periodicals database formerly known as the Union List of Art, Architecture and Design Serials. The database itself has a new interface, which should work with recent versions of the most popular web browsers. In the coming months, we will introduce additional improvements and also provide access to an online directory of art, architecture and design resources. As a result, it's possible that the database may be unavailable for short periods during the next few weeks, while we make various changes to the software. The service is hosted by the National Art Library on behalf of ARLIS/UK & Ireland, with part-funding from the British Library Co-operation and Partnership Programme and the Research Support Libraries Programme (RSLP).
Please update any links you may have to the old site for the Union List of Art, Architecture and Design Serials, which was located at http://www.nal.vam.ac.uk/ulist/
If you do have any queries about arlis.net, do get in touch with me direct. Thanks.
