The computer-based Conservation Information Network aims to enhance the quality, scope, and timeliness of the collection and dissemination of conservation information internationally by providing individuals and institutions with easy access to a wide variety of information relevant to the conservation of all types of cultural property. The Network is a collaborative venture between the Getty Conservation Institute and other major institutions which have significant information holdings on conservation. It currently consists of a bibliographic database, a database of materials used in conservation, a directory of suppliers, and an electronic mail system, and will be broadened in future to include other related databases. By integrating computer databases with printed material and a communications system, the Network aims to provide an international information handling system whose format and content are relevant to the needs of conservation professionals. It is designed to be comprehensive, easy to use, and affordable by all members of the profession. The ultimate success of the Network will depend on its further geographic expansion, and on the inclusion of individual as well as institutional subscribers. Although the GCI is financing a large portion of the costly initial development stages, the Network should be supported over time by its growing base of users. -- AATA
