			AMICO Editorial Committee: Textbook Survey Representation of the art history canon in The AMICO Library At the June 2000 annual meeting, Peter Walsh presented his report, A Preliminary Study of the Content of The AMICO Library with Recommendations for Future Development (download pdf). He identified unmet expectations of users looking at The AMICO Library as a source for works of art published in major art history textbooks. There was consensus at the meeting that all member institutions should make a priority of contributing those works in their collections that are reproduced in art history textbooks and used for class teaching. Academic Image Cooperative To facilitate this process, AMICO staff and interns prepared a table of works included in the Academic Image Cooperative with references to works inthe collection of AMICO members and their presence in The AMICO Library.
