NTID faculty gain access to new digital image database at RIT

Abstract

Access to digital images at RIT just increased by more than 20,000 images, thanks to RIT's selection as one of only 20 national universities in a new test project of the Art Museum Image Consortium (AMICO). The consortium, established last fall by the Association of Art Museum Directors, represents 23 of the largest art museums in North America. These museums will build a shared library of digital documentation of their collections for licensing and distribution to the educational community. The AMICO Library will be first offered to this select group of universities, including RIT, in the University Testbed Project.
