Conservation OnLine (cool)
CoOL is a project of the Preservation Department of Stanford
University Libraries.

cool-directory-of-servers.src is a top level directory for Conservation
OnLine (CoOL), a collection of WAIS databases containing information of
interest to people involved with the conservation of library, archives
and museum materials.

To determine which CoOL database will best meet your needs, query
cool-directory-of-servers.  To see a list of all the CoOL databases,
use the word 'source' as your search term.  New databases will be added
to CoOL so it will be a good idea to search cool-directory-of-servers
regularly.

The existing databases are: 
  cool         :  archives of the Conservation DistList. 
  cool-cdr     :  conservation directory 
  cool-cfl     :  files about conservation issues 
  cool-ref     :  bibliographic citations
  cool-bib     :  complete bibliographies
  cool-lex     :  lexical and classification material pertaining to conservation
  cool-net     :  files about networking, mailing list, etc.
  cool-waac    :  The WAAC Newsletter (Western Association for Art Conservation)

cool.src contains the archives of the Conservation DistList.  Searches
will return individual messages (ie undigestified DistList postings). The
DistList, a moderated digest, is an electronic forum for discussion of
technical and administrative issues of concern to conservation
professionals. 

  Topics include:

   Acetate and nitrate negatives; Adhesives; Alkaline paper and papermaking; 
   Barcoding; Bleaching; Blood; Blueprints; Book drops; Bookbinding; Budgets;
   CD-rom and optical disks; Cellulose chemistry; Conservators; Cleaning;
   Consolidation; Dataloggers; Deterioration;  Digitization; Disaster planning;
   Display cases; Exhibition and exhibits; Documentation; Electronic records;
   Encapsulation; Environment and environmental controls; Enzymes;
   Equipment and tools; Fire protection; Floods; Fumigation; Funding; 
   Glass plate negatives; HVAC; Housing; Hygrothermographs; Image processing; Ink;

cool-cdr.src contains a directory of people professionally involved
with the conservation and preservation of library, archives, and museum
materials (conservators, preservation administrators, conservation
scientists, archivists, curators, bibliographers, librarians, etc).

cool-cfl.src contains files concerning the conservation of library,
archives, and museum materials.

cool-ref.src contains bibliographic citations concerning the
conservation of library, archives, and museum materials.  For complete
subject bibliographies, see cool-bib.


cool-lex.src contains lexical and classification material pertaining to
conservation and preservation, including thesauri (or microthesauri),
glossaries, classification schemes, authority lists (descriptors,
subject headings), etc.  These items are segregated from other CoOL
databases in order to avoid false hits in the other databases.

These materials will be of particular interest to information retrieval
specialists and those involved with the operation of a technical
reference library for conservation and preservation.

  Topics include:
  
   Classification schemes and/or authority lists of preservation
   descriptors for
     Art and Archaeology Technical Abstracts (AATA)
     Applied Science and Technology Index
     Art Index
     Chemical Abstracts
     ERIC
     Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA)
   Dewey decimal and Library of Congress preservation descriptors, subject
   headings, etc.
   information retrieval
   vocabulary control

cool-net.src contains information on networks, networking, mailing
lists, computers, etc.
cool-waac contains articles from the WAAC Newsletter (ISSN 1052-0066),
a publication of the Western Association for Art Conservation, a
nonprofit organization founded in 1974.  Published since 1979, 
WAAC Newsletter publishes ideas, information, news, and other
material pertaining to the conservation of cultural property,
especially matters of interest to conservators in the western
United States.

cool-waac will eventually contain the entire run of this newsletter,
