Abstract

Internet resources in any discipline are difficult to locate reliably, but the problem is exacerbated for the visual arts community by the intrinsic complexity of retrieving visual resources. After a brief examination of the problems associated with the discovery of networked resources, this paper outlines the development, integration and future objectives of two visual arts information services, the Art, Design, Architecture & Media Information Gateway (ADAM) and the Visual Arts Data Service (VADS), both funded for the benefit of the UK Higher Education community by the Joint Information Systems Committee.
