H.W. Wilson's "WIN" Editorial
System Honored by Association for Information and Image Management
New York, New York, June 13, 2005
H.W. Wilson's innovative WIN editorial production software has been
honored by the Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM)
with a "Best Practices" Industry Award. WIN (Wilson Information Network)
is the electronic document imaging and workflow solution H.W. Wilson
implemented in 2001 to automate and streamline its periodicals indexing,
abstracting, and cataloging processes. It was developed with the help of
Imaging Solutions, Inc.
H.W. Wilson publishes more than 60 periodical databases (indexes,
abstracts, and full text resources), from the long-popular Readers'
Guide to Periodical Literature to new titles such as Book Review Digest
Plus and the Wilson Retrospective Collection.
WIN helps Wilson distribute periodical content to staff members quickly
and accurately, monitor and control the indexing, abstracting, and
cataloging processes, and then collect all of the work from multiple
parties to create the Wilson periodical databases. The software allows
the Wilson staff to handle an ever-increasing amount of information
while maintaining the focus on editorial integrity and quality of
workmanship that has earned the Wilson reputation.

Art Museum Image Gallery Debuts
on WilsonWeb
H.W. Wilson Offers Rich Art Image Database to Replace The AMICO Library
New York, New York, June 6, 2005
H.W. Wilson today announced it will offer the
Art Museum
Image Gallery—a new art image database to replace The AMICO
Library, which ceases publication in July. Art Museum Image Gallery
is a rich digital resource of art images and related multimedia gathered
from the collections of distinguished museums around the world,
reflecting the wide coverage offered by The AMICO Library. All images
are rights-cleared for educational use, so that students can download
them for papers, and teachers can include them in class lectures. The
new database can be searched seamlessly with other popular Wilson art
resources—such as Art Full Text and Art Index Retrospective—to retrieve
both images and articles.
Art Museum Image Gallery features over 94,000 high-quality,
high-resolution images, spanning artistic creation from 3,000 B.C. to
the present, virtually mirroring the content researchers enjoyed with
The AMICO Library. A description accompanies each entry, as well as
curatorial text, provenance data, detail or multiple views, and for many
works, related multimedia. The versatile WilsonWeb interface allows
searching by a multitude of parameters beyond title of work and artist,
including subject, materials and techniques, artist nationality and
birthplace, owner of work, and date created, among others.
Invaluable for curricula in art history, studio art, and design, the
database also enriches research in cultural studies, area studies,
archaeology, classics, history, religion, literature and related subject
areas.
Art Museum Image Gallery includes both fine and decorative art:
painting, sculpture, drawings, prints, photographs, textiles, costumes,
jewelry, ceramics, furniture, glass, books and manuscripts,
archaeological finds, and beyond. Wide-ranging coverage encompasses art
from the cultures of Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas (including
Native American and MesoAmerican peoples).
The database features a wealth of works by contemporary artists.
Distinguished museum sources ensure an impressive selection of images.

"A resource as important as The
AMICO Library shouldn't disappear without replacement," said Ron Miller,
H.W. Wilson Director of Product Management. "We are glad to be able to
offer most of the content from the original AMICO Library in a database
that is fully searchable within the WilsonWeb system. WilsonWeb users
may combine Art Museum Image Gallery with Wilson's Art Full Text
and Art Index Retrospective in one instant and seamless search creating
an art reference resource of superior quality." |
