Apologies for cross postings We are very pleased to announce the final phase of the Artifact subject headings review with the implementation of some new browse sections - Advice & Guidance; Collections & Exhibitions; Image Banks; and Teaching, Learning & Research along with expanded top level browse subject headings. What's new? New specialist browse sections * Advice & Guidance - web sites dedicated to advice for arts and creative industries-related matters, eg. setting up your own business, copyright advice and employment opportunities. * Collections & Exhibitions - easier access to the best of the Web for Archives, Arts Centres, Cultural tourism & heritage collections, Museums, Libraries and Galleries. * Image Banks - all web sites with access to quality images now brought together in one place within Artifact * Teaching, Learning & Research - web sites with direct relevance to teaching, learning and research in the arts and creative industries Although these sections are still to be expanded with more relevant sub-categories, this change has been implemented in response to the need for the arts and creative industries community to gain quick and easy access to this sort of quality assured specialist information. Subject browsing The top level headings have been reviewed with a resulting 6 browsable subject areas: * Architecture * Communications, Media & Culture (now incorporates Culture) * Design * Fashion & Beauty * Music & the Performing Arts (Music added to the title) * Visual Arts (previously named Art) Architecture and the Visual Arts have been completely reviewed and expanded with the addition of more sub-categories where content required it. Ongoing work The Communications, Media & Culture and the Design subject headings are currently being reviewed and expanded and once complete, a review of the final two headings; Music & the Performing Arts and Fashion & Beauty will be undertaken. Thanks to our colleagues at the libraries and learning centres of the University of the Arts London, Manchester Metropolitan University, Middlesex University and the Centre for the Built Environment, for their advice and input into this exercise. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any queries or questions about the Artifact service.
