colleges, universities and other cultural organizations. Boston
Athenaeum partnered with the Forum Network for a series of lectures
on American art by David Dearinger, who is Susan Morse Hilles Curator of
Paintings and Sculpture at the Boston Athenaeum. An art historian and curator,
he received his Ph.D. from the Graduate Center of the City University of
New York, with a specialty in nineteenth-century American art. Lectures
include The
Academy and Art in America, a lecture about the role of the formal
art academy in the development of American art and art criticism. [March

and also from the Web:
Google announced in 2004 a collaboration with institutional libraries
to digitize large quantities of books: the Google
Books Library Project. Public domain books are available on a full view
open access basis. Copyrighted material is treated in one of three ways.
Google negotiates with cooperating publishers through its Google
Books Partner Program for "Limited Preview" of entire pages
or sections within books by readers. For scanned books without copyright
permissions, "snippets" are available. For remaining books basic
information is provided without ability to search within the book. The snippets
inform readers about the relevance of the book to their subject of inquiry.
A Google Book Search conducted
April 26, 2008 located 651 books featuring either full view or Limited Preview
with the search phrase "Ashcan artists." Books with "Limited
Preview" include:
