Dear AMICOs,

The following message from the University Testbed Discussion
 seemed of broad interest.

Any thoughts about how we could address some of these
 suggestions?

The question regarding the content of the AMICO Library sparked a series
of long and lively discussions among members of the Washington University 
project team.

The following emerged as specific areas in need of content development
based on class evaluations by students, discussions with faculty, and the
experiences of members of the project team:
                                                                            
- A more significant body of sculpture images, including several views of
  each piece.                                             
- Basic works (e.g., Greek and Roman art) essential to the teaching of
  introductory Art History.
- Additional objects of "popular culture," particularly cartoons, 
  advertisements, historical documents, film stills, etc                      
- Additional images of contemporary art, including sound and motion and 
  contemporary photography.                                                   
- Graphic communication arts such as book design, typography, posters and 
  other advertising.                                                          
- Historical and contemporary ceramics and costume.                         
- Furniture.                                                                
- Building photography.                                                     
- Historical city maps.
