What is ARTstor?
ARTstor Hosting
ARTstor is working with over 90 participating institutions to host their local institutional collections on ARTstor servers. Hosted collections are available to students, faculty, and staff at participating institutions and allow them to access their own content alongside images from the ARTstor Digital Library.
The three-year Institutional Collections Pilot Program launched in 2004 and concluded fall 2007. The pilot phase demonstrated community interest in our hosting service and provided a representative sample of common visual resource collection management practices at a variety of institutions. We are now in Hosting Phase II (2008-2011) during which we continue to develop hosted collections but also focus on developing tools and workflows that more efficiently and effectively accommodate the needs of our community.
ARTstor encourages institutions interested in hosting their local content in the ARTstor Digital Library to contact hosting@artstor.org to find out more about the next phase of the institutional hosting service.
ARTstor Hosting Advisory Group
ARTstor has formed a Hosting Advisory Group to work closely with ARTstor staff in shaping future directions for the hosting program and to advise on the development of new tools and related services. The Hosting Advisory Group is comprised visual resource professionals, librarians and technical staff from participating institutions.
