Conservation Information Network

Lyn Elliot Sherwood, Chair of the Board of Directors of the
Conservation Information Network, has asked me to share this message
with the list:

    On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Conservation
    Information Network, I wish to correct any possible
    misunderstanding that may exist concerning the continued
    partnership of the Getty Conservation Institute in the Network.

    The Getty Conservation Institute has decided to make the Art and
    Archaeology Technical Abstracts available to the conservation
    community through a separate service as an on-line database and
    no new AATA abstracts will  be added to BCIN. The Institute will
    continue, however, to be an active partner in the Conservation
    Information Network by contributing citations of its library
    holdings to BCIN, the Network's collaborative bibliographic
    database.

    In addition to the GCI, the Conservation Information Network
    partners include the Canadian Conservation Institute, the
    International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and
    Restoration of Cultural Property, the International Council of
    Museums, the International Council on Monuments and Sites, the
    National Archives of Canada, the Smithsonian Center for
    Materials Research and Education, and the Canadian Heritage
    Information Network.  BCIN is available by subscription to both
    individuals and institutions at <URL:http://www.chin.gc.ca>.
