Beste collega's,
Gisteren maakte Sylvia van Peteghem via de OKBV-discussielijst bekend
dat de Universiteitsbibliotheek Gent gaat samenwerken mat Google in het
Google Library Project. Het doel is om de ca. 300.00 copyrightvrije
boeken uit de collectie van de Boekentoren van de UB-Gent te
digitaliseren. Dit project staat natuurlijk niet op zichzelf. Na een voortvarende
start in Amerika, wendt Google zich sinds kort ook tot Europese
collecties (zie het persbericht). Hopelijk zal het niet lang duren tot er ook
een Italiaanse deelnemer bij komt.
met vriendelijke groet
Martien Versteeg

DANUBE TELELECTURE from the MUMOK, Vienna : Myths of Immateriality
The Department for Image Science at Danube-University Krems created a new format of international lecture and debates on key questions of Image Science and Media Art with high-calibre experts - the DANUBE TELELECTURES. The discussion will be recorded by several cameras and transmitted live over the www. http://www.donau-uni.ac.at Online viewers can participate live in the discussion via email.
TELELECTURE # 3
Myths of Immateriality: Curating, Collection and Archiving Media Art
During the last decades media art has grown to be the art of our time, though it has hardly arrived in our cultural institutions. The mainstream of art history has neglected developing adequate research tools for these contemporary art works, they are exhibited infrequently in
museums, and there are few collectors.
Media art is hardly being archived and systematically preserved like ancient and traditional forms of art. This loss of data our society is facing because of the change in storage media and operational systems threatens to result in a total loss of our contemporary digital art. Which practices and strategies in the curating and documenting of media art do experts in the field suggest?

Subject: [ARLIS-L] JSTOR: What do you want it to contain?
To: [log in to unmask]
At the Academic Library Division meeting in Atlanta, Barbara Rockenbach spoke about JSTOR’s new directions to add more art/art-related journals and non-periodical/serial (such as exhibition catalogs, annotated auction catalogs, WWII materials, etc.). In response to JSTOR’s request to tell them what’s most valuable to us, we volunteered to gather that information and pass on to them group-determined lists of recommendations.
To give you an overview of JSTOR titles, there are two lists of current art/art-related journals to look at (see below) : first, the titles held and second, those being negotiated with for addition to JSTOR.
Please send me ([log in to unmask]), by June 20, two lists of what you’d like to see added: 1. journal titles and 2. non-serial types of material. I’ll compile the lists, send them back to you via ARLIS-L for any needed revisions, and then send them on to Barbara.
Thanks,
Rijn
