[Air-l] New on ICT Guides for March

[Craig Bellamy]

Dear AOIR,

I thought that I would take the opportunity to introduce ICT Guides to 
you, which is a new service being offered by the Arts and Humanities 
Data Service at King's College, London. It seeks to promote the use of 
ICTs in research and learning through cataloging good-practice digital 
arts and humanities projects, through the tools, methods, and standards 
they employed. It is still in the early stages, and we would be very 
interested in your comments.

The following new projects have been added to ICT Guides in March. 
(Projects): http://ahds.ac.uk/ictguides/projects/allProjects.jsp

Highlight:

"PARADISEC (the Pacific And Regional Archive for Digital Sources in 
Endangered Cultures) offers a facility for digital conservation and 
access for endangered materials from the Pacific region, defined broadly 
to include Oceania and East and Southeast Asia. Our research group has 
developed models to ensure that the archive can provide access to 
interested communities, and conforms with emerging international 
standards for digital archiving" See:
