Dear All,
The Visual Arts Data Service,
(<http://vads.ahds.ac.uk>http://vads.ahds.ac.uk) provides, preserves
and promotes high quality digital resources in the visual arts and
the Technical Advisory Service for Images
(<http://www.tasi.ac.uk/>http://www.tasi.ac.uk/) advises and supports
the academic community on the digital creation, storage and delivery
of image-related information.
We are pleased to formally launch the web version of the VADS/TASI
Guide to Good Practice:
*Creating Digital Resources for the Visual Arts: Standards and Good Practice*
<http://vads.ahds.ac.uk/guides/creating_guide.html>http://vads.ahds.ac
.uk/guides/creating_guide.html
The guide is intended primarily to introduce new users of technology
to its applications, and to provide comprehensive guidance on all the
following issues;
*Creating Digital Images
*Copyright
*Data Documentation and Metadata Standards
*Project Management
*Resource Delivery and User Issues
*Storage and Preservation
*Using specialized formats for the Visual Arts
We hope that it will also provide a useful source of information for
those who are more experienced in generating digital resources.
Bibliographic links and a glossary of terms are also included.
*Permitted Uses*
While we encourage you to read and make use of our Guide fully.
Please do not print out the whole Guide or distribute it to
colleagues. It is intended for individual use.
*Print Publication*
A print publication is soon to follow this electronic version,
published by Oxbow Books; information on how to order the Guide in
book form will be posted on the VADS and TASI sites.
Best Wishes
Catherine Grout (VADS) and Karla Youngs (TASI)
