On Monday, August 24 the AMICO Testbed replaced the Preview system that has been available during the summer. The content remains the same (except for suppression of records from the LA County Museum of Art, pending execution of the AMICO Membership Agreement); updated cataloging data and some replacement images were received by RLG too late to be incorporated on the 24th, but should appear in the testbed in the next few weeks. Those of you who have looked recently may have noticed some refinement of the interface as a result of comments that RLG has received as well as the addition of Boolean searching and TIFF ordering functionality.

The process of honing the interface will continue throughout the year so we are very interested in your reactions to the current iteration. Feel free to use the Comments button in the interface and be assured that we will be receiving those and watching Testbed users' discussions with great interest.
