DALLAS MUSEUM OF ART ANNOUNCES INTERNET PUBLIC ACCESS SERVICE
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Dallas Museum of Art Collections Information Center is pleased to
announce that Museum information and digital images of the Permanent
Collection can be obtained through the University of North Texas gopher
server (gopher.unt.edu).
Visitors to our 'online Museum' have access to general DMA information,
such as exhibition and event schedules, gallery guides, and educational
documents relating to the Museum and its Permanent Collection. You can
also pick up a copy of a new DMA electronic newsletter, 'CI,' which
details the activities and services of the Museum's new Collections
Information Center.
A selection of digital images from the Museum's Permanent Collection is
also available in GIF89a format. Each image file includes not only a
picture of an artwork, but also a full text identification label and in
many cases extended remarks about the piece written by our Curatorial staff.
Visitors are welcome to download these images for their personal,
educational use. Shareware image viewers are also provided for our
patrons' use.
Visitors are also encouraged to post art-related reference questions to our
gopher mailbox, [log in to unmask] An information center staffperson
will be available to answer e-mail queries daily.
The DMA online service can be accessed on the gopher server at the
University of North Texas (gopher.unt.edu). At present, the easiest way
to access the server is to login to a local gopher or host access system
near you, and then select the menu option(s) that connect you directly to
other gophers in the USA.
