Trant), laura@archimuse.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Dear Nancy, We're delighted to have you linking to the public web site of AMICO. The AMICO Library is being created by North American art museums in order to make available educational materials on art for university and K-12 audiences. Beginning next academic year, it will be possible for schools to subscribe to the full AMICO library (which includes higher resolution images, more images, sounds, and other multimedia data representing all the works you can see in thumbnail on the public site). We're running projects with schools in Indiana right now to develop curriculum materials for K-12 to accompany the Library and are encouraging other such ventures. Please stay in touch. And, by the way, congratulations on adopting a responsible policy for making links. In the long run, we think that such policies will enable resources of the sort we are creating to grow without the contributors feeling threatened about commercial exploitation. Sincerely yours, David Bearman At 10:08 AM 12/17/98 EST5EDT, you wrote: >I am the webmistress for my high school's library media center website http://www.rcs.rang.k12.va.us/SCHOOLS/RCHS/Library/Rchslib.htm). This website is primarily an annotated list of hundreds of sites I have found over the last 2 years that I think would be of particular benefit to our students and teachers. New school system guidelines for webpages dictate that I must ask permission to link to all the sites on my webpages. I have a link to your website on my What's New page. In some cases I quote fro >m a site in an annotation, generally from the description of the site. When I quote I include "quote from source" in my annotation. Please reply to me if linking is acceptable to you. Those sites from which I do not receive a reply will have to be removed from my site. > >Thank you for your time and understanding, >Nancy Badertscher >Library Media Specialist >Rockbridge County High School >Lexington, VA 24450 >540/463-5555, ext. 21 >nhbader@rcs.rang.k12.va.us > >http://www.rcs.rang.k12.va.us/SCHOOLS/RCHS/Library/Rchslib.htm > > > > > David Bearman Director, Strategy & Research Art Museum Image Consortium 2008 Murray Ave, Suite D Pittsburgh, PA 15217 USA Phone: +1 412 422 8533 Fax: +1 412 422 8594 dbear@amico.org http://www.amico.org |
