A Visual Feast: Wilson Cinema and Art Museum Image Galleries Trial

January and February are not the most colorful months here in the Northeast. Exercise your eyes with a trial to the Wilson Cinema and Art Museum Image Galleries. Nylink has arranged a special trial, available at http://www.hwwilson.com/nylink.htm, for several key Wilson Art resources. In addition to the highly-praised image galleries, the trial, which requires registration for first-time users, includes Art Full Text, Art Index Retro, and the Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals. For this trial period, Wilson has agreed to special discounts for Nylink members and affiliates who subscribe to these resources before the trial ends on 2/28.
The trial page also offers brief interactive demos of the image galleries.

Wilson’s Art Full Text Expanded; Discounts on Art Databases

H.W. Wilson’s Art Full Text database now features coverage of 63 additional journals (46 of them in full text), expanding user access to research in important art-related subjects such as history, cultural studies, and art education. Full-text biographical profiles have also been added — rich, narrative life stories of more than 6,000 important artists (and growing).

New WilsonWeb tools also make using Art Full Text easier and more productive, including electronic translation of articles from English into 11 languages, translations of foreign-language articles into English, the ReadSpeaker text-to-speech converter (read about this handy tool at http://www.hwwilson.com/news/news_1_26_09.htm), and “My WilsonWeb” space for storing searches, results, and notes.
