Workshop on visual resources collections

1996 Workshop in Visual Resources Collection Fundamentals will be
held at The University of Texas at Austin, Monday, June 17 to
Friday, June 21, 1996.  Workshop leaders are Christine Sundt,
associate professor and curator of the Visual Resources Collection
at the University of Oregon, Architecture and Allied Arts Library,

History, The University of Texas at Austin.

The workshop will include subjects basic to the management of visual
resources collections, as well as emerging issues in the field.  The
purpose is to inform the visual resources curator, librarian, or
user, of some of the major topics involved in the development,
management, and operation of visual resources collections.  Included
will be both theoretical and practical information about aspects of
this type of collection management, as well as discussions and
demonstrations of new electronic methods and tools for accessing as
well as managing and delivering images and descriptive records.
There will be discussions and demonstrations of Getty's
microcomputer software for standard terminologies, for use in
