Hello,
I have posted the following message on the ACADI list
(http://acadi.wordpress.com/) but in case I have missed any Slide
Librarians, Image Librarians, or Visual Resource Curators I am also
posting the following here, with apologies for any cross-postings:
I would be extremely grateful for replies on or off list to the
following 5 questions aimed at Slide Librarians, Image Librarians, and
Visual Resource Curators. I would be happy to collate and circulate the
results to the list, and I would also like to use the results in my
extended research project (http://teachingwithimages.wordpress.com/).
1. a. Job Title
b. Institution Name
2. What has happened to your slide collection in the last five years?
e.g. down-sized/expanded, digitised or replaced by new digital image
collections, decrease in useage or increase in useage, disappeared, or
the management subsumed into a small part of other activities,
preserved, or in process of any of the above?
3. Are you still making new slides, is this only by special request or
is this still supported within your institution?
4. Does your institution still support those who wish to give slide
lectures e.g. by providing the equipment (presumably until it can no
longer be repaired)? Or has all equipment been removed?
5. How reliant is the future of the existing slide collection on the
DACS licence negotiations? and/or what do you predict for the future?
Please let me know if there are any ethical considerations e.g. if I
quote from the above in my research, may I mention your name and the
institution or should this be totally anonymous?
With many thanks in advance for your consideration,
Marie-Therese
