In the summer of 2001, the Otis Library received a planning grant from the Getty Electronic Cataloging Initiative Program. Our goal was to create a plan for the cataloging and digitizing of the Artists' Books Collection and making it available for viewing on the Web. As part of that project, we created this bibliography to use for reference. It covers issues related to creating and managing images for databases.

This publication is a product of the popular School for Scanning conferences that have been held since 1996 at the Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC). According to NEDCC executive director Ann Russell, the intent of the handbook is to provide librarians, archivists, preservationists, and administrators a manual that combines "a tutorial on technical issues with an overview of larger issues, including the need for preservation of digital products" (vii). The handbook is divided into ten chapters that cover practical aspects of digitization and important issues to consider in managing a digital project. The contributors to this book are preservation and digitization professionals; their contributions draw upon the presentations they gave as instructors at the NEDCC's scanning conferences.

Los Angeles: Getty Information Institute, 1998. 88p. $12.95 (ISBN 0-89236-508-0) LC99-165395. When the Getty Information Institute announced its Museum Educational Site Licensing Project (MESL) in 1994, universities and museums paid attention. This well-funded, organized effort aimed to deliver digital images from museums into university courses. MESL was intended to address head-on the project-thwarting issues of intellectual property, cost-versus-benefit, and technology. These two volumes are the resulting official report. In simple terms, the first (Delivering Digital Images) is a discussion of how, and the second (Images Online), of why. The story is well told, and these reports are worthwhile skimming for anyone considering a digital imaging project. They provide valuable insights from the perspectives of university and museum educators, visual resources professionals, programmers, network administrators, and project managers. Perhaps most relevant in the current, complicated legal environment are the contributions of intellectual property lawyers.

Zorich Diane M. Introduction to Managing Digital Assets: Options for Cultural and Educational Organizations. Los Angeles: Getty Information Institute, 1999. 157p. $24.95 (ISBN 0-89236-546-3) This book will be news to those of us focusing on alternative models of scholarly communication. We have often emphasized the need to address intellectual property restraints and have urged campus authors to keep copyright on campus so that its benefits are under academic control. But what happens when the library or the museum decides to exploit its intellectual property by selling or licensing its texts and images? This well-written book, the last gasp of the Getty Information Institute (which closed in 1999), is a how-to manual for museums and libraries that wish to make money from their intellectual resources.

Part of a special section reporting on a UC Berkeley study on the cost of network access to visual information for educational purposes. The writer compares the analog distribution costs of slide libraries to the costs associated with UC Berkeley's Museum Educational Site Licensing Project (MESL). Since there are serious limitations to direct cost comparisons between these two environments, the writer first explains these limitations. He then examines the actual costs and compares them with each other. He discusses the implications of the study for further digital-image distribution schemes and indicates further research that should be undertaken. He finds that digital-image distribution does not currently seem to be cost effective for universities when compared with existing analog distributions schemes. He contends, however, that as costs diminish and as other university activities begin to pool the infrastructure costs, these types of schemes are likely to become more practicable.
