designinform - name change
Important Announcement – change of name for designinform
Hi All
After much consideration, and not a little soul-searching, we have decided to rename designinform.
Given the increased digitization by us of a wide range of fine art and architecture journals, it was felt that the title designinform, with its apparent emphasis on design, did not fully represent the scope and coverage of our database, indeed, it is positively misleading.
This is evident by an analysis of the subject fields in Design ProFILES. As of today, DP contains data on 4,904 painters, 1,763 sculptors, and 3,117 architects and architectural firms. Whilst this still represents less than half of the 25,776 names currently included in DP, fine art and architecture will probably soon overtake design as the dominant subject areas.
The new name will be Arts: Search and it will be launched on on 8 July 2013
The component parts of Arts: Search will be:
Review [full text]
Arts + Architecture ProFILES
Design Abstracts Retrospective
Arts: Search Research Guides
The URL of Arts: Search will be http://www.arts-search.com and http://arts-search.com/database
The email address will be [log in to unmask]">[log in to unmask]
Although we are constantly working on refining and improving the interface and its searchability, there with be no change in the format of our database, and it will still be possible, for the meantime, to access the database at http://www.designinform.co.uk/database and to contact us at [log in to unmask]">[log in to unmask]
Best wishes
