ARTstor:
A Project Update

ARTstor is a digital library initiative launched by The Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation. Its mission is to use digital technology to enhance scholarship,
teaching and learning in the arts and associated fields. As part of
a community-wide effort to further this goal, ARTstor will build, continually
develop, and distribute a library of digital images and related information
to serve the needs of researchers, teachers, and students. ARTstor will
work closely with both providers and users of content from educational
and cultural institutions around the world to construct a not-for-profit,
public utility. This project briefing will provide an update on the
development of ARTstor, the "testing" process, and eventual
rollout.
