NetLibrary - eBook of the Month

The Muslim World after 9/11:
A groundbreaking examination of the major dynamics
driving changes in the religio-political landscape of
the Muslim world

Momentous events since September 11, 2001—Operation
Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, the global war on
terrorism, and the ongoing war in Iraq—have
dramatically altered the political environment in the
Muslim world. Many of the forces influencing this
environment, however, are the products of trends that
have been at work for decades.

In February's eBook of the Month, the authors of The
Muslim World After 9/11, examine the major dynamics
driving changes in the religious-political landscape
of the Muslim world—a vast and diverse region that
stretches from Western Africa through the Middle East
to the Southern Philippines and includes Muslim
communities and diasporas throughout the world—and
draws the implications of these dynamics for global
security and U.S. and Western interests.

Designed to increase awareness of online resources
and highlight the value of your eBook collection,
NetLibrary's eBook of the Month is provided through
the generous support of the Rand Corporation and will
be provided with free, unlimited access February 1-
28. Don't miss this unique opportunity to showcase
your NetLibrary collection by sharing this valuable
resource with your patrons.

ARTstor Remote Access

Remote Access means trying to access ARTstor from outside of the IP address(es) that have been authorized for your institution. An IP (InternetProtocol) address is a number that identifies every computer on the Internet.Every institution has one or several IP addresses to identify all of thecomputers in that institution. We rely on those IP addresses to tell us thatyour institution should have access to ARTstor.

If you are trying to access ARTstor from a computer that is not physically inyour institution (home or off-campus, for example) your IP address will notmatch those from your institution. Therefore, to identify you as a validARTstor user, we have to find a different approach. In some cases you can usea proxy server, which will allow your computer to pretend that it is on-campus and within your institution's IP range. But not all institutions areable to offer this service to their users. Please talk to someone in yourLibrary or Instructional Technology Department to find out what proxy optionsare offered at your institution.

Furthermore, proxy servers are only helpful with online resources. ForARTstor, we have online and offline resources. Our Offline Image Viewercannot utilize proxy servers and therefore when required to login to ARTstorvia the Offline Image Viewer, you need to be physically located in yourinstitution's IP-validated workstations. This has caused some inconveniencethat we are hoping to eliminate.

So, we have developed a new authentication solution. We will now give allregistered ARTstor users temporary access to ARTstor from outside theirinstitutions - even from within other institutions. How does this work?

1. First and foremost, you must register an account with ARTstor from withinyour home institution. For more information on how to register an account, see our help document here.

2. Each time you log on to your ARTstor account from within your institution(or via your institution's proxy server), you will reset your Access GracePeriod to the maximum length - 14 days. This means that for the next 14 daysyou will be able to access ARTstor from any computer connected to theInternet. You will also be able to authenticate the Offline Image Viewer orlog in to ARTstor from the Offline Image Viewer to download your ARTstorImage Groups from any computer.

3. If you try to access online ARTstor remotely, when you click on the"Search and Browse for Images" link, a new window will open requesting youremail address and password. When you click the "submit" button on that form,if you have entered a valid ARTstor user account and if you have logged on tothat ARTstor account in the past 14 days, you will enter the ARTstor Library.As you enter, you will be reminded of how many days remain in your AccessGrace Period.

4. If you are using the Offline Viewer and need to log in to download yourImage Groups, you will enter your email address and password when prompted asalways. Provided you have logged in to online ARTstor in the past 14 days,you will see a list of your Image Groups and folders per usual. You will alsobe able to use your email address and password to reauthenticate your OIVsoftware when prompted. PLEASE NOTE: You must have Offline Image Viewerversion 1.2 installed for the new remote access to work. Offline Image Viewerversion 1.2 will be announced and made available during the week of December6, 2004.

5. If you want to send your students a link to an image or Image Group inARTstor online, if they click on the link from off-campus, they will beprompted to log on with their email address and password. Provided they haveregistered an email address and password with ARTstor, and they have accessedtheir account in the past 14 days, they will be able to view the contents ofthe link.

6. Please remember that ARTstor is subject to terms and conditions of use,which require, among other things, that you not share your password withothers. For more information on the terms and conditions of use, please go here.

Frequently asked questions

When I click on "Search and Browse for Images" I am prompted to login with myemail address and password. Why? What do I do?

If you are prompted at this point to use your email address and password,that means you are trying to enter ARTstor from a computer that is notauthorized for ARTstor access. Your computer is probably not physicallywithin your institution. You should enter your email address and password asyou did when you registered an account with ARTstor.

I have never registered an account with ARTstor and I want to use ARTstorremotely.

If you have never registered an account with ARTstor, you need to do thatbefore you can access ARTstor remotely. If you can get back to yourinstitution or campus, you can register there. If you are home and haveaccess to online ARTstor through your institution's proxy server, accessingARTstor and registering that way will work too.

I have an account with ARTstor but I've forgotten my password.

There is a "lost password" function built in to ARTstor but in order to useit, you must be able to access online ARTstor by either being within yourinstitution or by utilizing your institution's proxy server.

When I try to connect to ARTstor through the Offline Viewer I get an errormessage: "Trouble connecting to ARTstor, please try again later."

If you get that error message, you'll need to upgrade your version of theOffline Image Viewer. The remote access grace period requires version 1.2which will be made available during the week of December 6, 2004. To downloadand install this new version, you can follow the instructions in our helpdocument here.

Another announcement will be sent out when OIV version 1.2 is available.

ARTstor adds Schlesinger Library Material

Collaborative Agreement Reached Between the Arthur and Elizabeth
Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America (Radcliffe
Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University) and ARTstor.

The Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in
America (Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University) and
ARTstor Inc. announced today that they had reached an agreement to
collaborate on the distribution through ARTstor of approximately 360,000
high quality digital images from the Schlesinger Library's renowned
photographic archives.

The Schlesinger Library at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study is
the leading national repository for women's history. The Library's
collections document the full spectrum of activities and experiences of
women in the 19th and 20th centuries. Particular strengths include
women's rights and suffrage, social reform, the labor movement, work and
professions, family history, health and sexuality, culinary history, and
gender issues. In the Library's collections, there are more than 70,000
images in all varieties of photographic formats. These images represent
the work of both professional and amateur artistic and documentary
photographers and include portraits of individuals and family groups,
men, children, landscapes, houses and interiors, travel pictures, women
at work, and political and social activities. Although they provide a
unique kind of documentation of women's history that complements and
enriches other parts of the Library's collections, these images were,
until recently, all but inaccessible.

This collaboration between ARTstor and the Schlesinger Library will make
this rich body of visual material and related scholarship available
electronically, and in high resolution, to the larger educational and
scholarly community for the first time. The audience for these
materials will include scholars, teachers, and students throughout the
arts, humanities and social sciences, who will value having the ability
to access, browse, and make rich educational and scholarly uses of this
unique corpus of images. In reaching this agreement, Nancy F. Cott, the
director of the Schlesinger Library and also Jonathan Trumbull Professor
of American History at Harvard University, said "I am thrilled that this
collaboration will bring a large part of the Schlesinger's unique
collection of photographic images to viewers worldwide."

JSTOR's New Search Engine

Dear JSTOR Participant,

For the past several months JSTOR has been developing a new search
engine in order to improve the usability of JSTOR searching. We are now
happy to announce the initial release of JSTOR’s new search engine and
search interfaces. The primary goals of this first release are to
improve the speed of a search and to introduce the ability to search all
disciplines at once without having to select each discipline individually.

Highlights of some of the other new features you will notice when using
JSTOR:

Basic Search


* By default, JSTOR’s new Basic Search allows searchers to search
all content in the archive (articles, reviews, etc.)
* The Boolean operators AND, OR and NOT are available. Words are
“anded” together by default.
* Phrase searching is available by enclosing terms in quotes (e.g.,
“punctuated equilibrium”)
* Field searching may be accomplished by using field operators
(e.g., ti:"two-person cooperative games" au:nash).

Advanced and Expert Search options, which allow users to limit their
searches by field, content type, discipline and journal title, and date
range, are also available.

To learn more about JSTOR’s search functionality, please visit:

http://www.jstor.org/help/search.html

We continue to work on our search engine, and plan to release additional
features and enhancements. We encourage you to send us feedback
regarding any additional functionality and improvements you would like
to see.

Thank you for your continued support and suggestions.

Sincerely,

Kristen Garlock

ARTstor Native American Art and Culture

It is with great pleasure that we announce the availability in ARTstor of the
"Native American Art and Culture" Collection, the result of a collaboration
with the National Anthropological Archives, Smithsonian Institution. To
browse this new collection, please enter ARTstor and click on the "Native
American Art and Culture from the Smithsonian Institution" link.

The "Native American Art and Culture" collection has two components. The
first, now available to ARTstor users, consists of more than 10,000 high-
resolution images made from historic photographs richly documenting Native
American subjects (portraits, scenes, etc.). These digital images have been
made from glass plate negatives collected by or produced under the auspices
of the Smithsonian's Bureau of American Ethnology (BAE) beginning in the late
19th century. The BAE photographic collections, supported by extensive
documentation, are a foundation for our visual knowledge of the American
Indian past. They were critical in shaping perceptions of Native Americans in
the last quarter of the 19th century and thereafter and they constitute an
unparalleled visual record of historic Native American art and culture. The
subjects treated in these photographs range from studio portraits of
individual Native Americans to tribal scenes, documenting treaty councils,
official expeditions of exploration, and early anthropological and
archeological inquiry in America. All major tribal groups are represented,
many having been photographed during formal meetings of tribal delegations
with members of Congress.

The second component of this collection, still in production but likely to be
made available to ARTstor users by early Fall 2005, consists of ca. 2,000
Plains Indian "ledger drawings." Plains Indian ledger drawings, mostly
produced in the middle to late decades of the 19th century, represent an
important indigenous artistic tradition of great and increasing interest to
art historians and other scholars. These drawings on paper, often done on the
pages of ruled ledger books acquired through trade, continue a long tradition
of painting on buffalo hides and other available media.

These two archives are among the most heavily used resources in the
Smithsonian's National Anthropological Archive. This digital version should
be invaluable to art historians, anthropologists, cultural historians, and
indeed to all scholars, curators, teachers and students who deal with
American and Native American art, history and culture, as well as to scholars
engaged with the study of cross-cultural encounters.

ARTstor Offline Image Viewer

Dear ARTstor Users -

It is with great pleasure that we announce the ARTstor Offline Image Viewer version 1.2 is finally available for both Macintosh and PC platforms. You must register to download the Image Viewer. After Registration please log in to your ARTstor account and select "Offline Image Viewer Download" from the "Tools" menu.

Key Features of this Upgrade:

1. Remote access: Prior to this version, users were unable to use the Offline Viewer from any off-campus location - regardless of being logged in to their institution's proxy access. With this version of the OIV, you'll be able to take advantage of the Remote Access Grace Period which enables all users that have logged in to their ARTstor account from a valid computer (either on-campus or through proxy) to access ARTstor through the Offline Image Viewer from anywhere for 14 days. When your grace period expires, you'll need to visit ARTstor and log in to your account from a valid computer for another two weeks of remote access.
   
   
2. Larger images: This version of the Offline Image Viewer will download ARTstor images that are up to 3200 pixels on the long side. All previous versions imported ARTstor images at 1600 pixels on the long side. You'll be able to zoom in to see even more detail! Don't worry about your download times doubling though. We've streamlined our download process, so the overall time to download your Image Group will not increase at all.
   
   
3. Automated upgrades: If a newer version of the viewer is available, you will be notified when you start the Offline Viewer while connected to the internet. The notice will inform you of the enhancements included in the newer version and you will have the choice to upgrade at any time. When you do choose to upgrade, the process is completed in one step. No more downloading and re-installing the viewer!
   
   

FirstSearch Database Documentation

The online version of this documentation has also been updated and is available here.

Fifteen Art Museums to Share Collections

ARTstor announced today that fifteen art museums have committed to share digital image collections and associated data through ARTstor. Images and data from these collections will enhance ARTstor's ability to provide broad-based access to art images for educational and scholarly use in museums, colleges and universities, and the K-12 sector.

The contributing museums include:
The Art Institute of Chicago http://www.artic.edu/
The Cleveland Museum of Art http://www.clevelandart.org/
Davis Museum and Cultural Center, Wellesley College http://www.davismuseum.wellesley.edu/ Dallas Museum of Art http://www.dallasmuseumofart.org/
Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco http://www.thinker.org/
Harvard University Art Museums http://www.artmuseums.harvard.edu/
The Frick Collection http://www.frick.org/
Kimbell Art Museum http://www.kimbellart.org/
Los Angeles County Museum of Art http://www.lacma.org/
The Metropolitan Museum of Art http://www.metmuseum.org/
Philadelphia Museum of Art http://www.philamuseum.org/
Smithsonian American Art Museum http://www.americanart.si.edu/
Victoria and Albert Museum http://www.vam.ac.uk/
The Walters Art Museum http://www.thewalters.org/
Williams College Museum of Art http://www.wcma.org/
Yale University Art Gallery http://www.artgallery.yale.edu/

Many of these museums have been participants in AMICO (Art Museum Image Consortium), the pioneering digital initiative originally created by the Association of Art Museum Directors. AMICO announced recently that it would cease operations in July 2005, and expressed its intention to work with ARTstor during a transition period to encourage member museums to continue their efforts in collaboration with ARTstor. In addition to these institutions that had previously contributed to AMICO, other major art museums that will make parts of their image collections available through ARTstor include the Kimbell Art Museum, Harvard University Art Museums, Yale University Art Gallery, and the Williams College Museum of Art.

These art museum partnerships will result in the sharing through ARTstor of tens of thousands of very high quality digital images - images carefully selected by museum curators representing both well-known masterpieces and thousands of works of art that deserve to be better known. Many of the hidden treasures of major art museums - such as the textiles, photographs, and works on paper that are typically too fragile to be on regular public view - will be available for study by scholars, curators, and students at the more than 300 colleges, universities, art schools and museums now participating in ARTstor. James Shulman, Executive Director of ARTstor, noted that, "We are delighted that ARTstor can serve as an avenue through which these
extraordinary institutions can make images of their works available for non-profit educational use. In addition to adding many thousands of images of the highest quality and museum-authorized cataloging data to the ARTstor Digital Library, these collaborations represent exciting steps in our effort to be a part of a community-wide effort. We look forward to continuing partnerships with colleagues and friends at these and other museums."
