about Electricka's
Resource Shelf
As Electricka uses the term, arts resources are resources like
those you find at stores, libraries, or web sites; they
range from books to broadcasting stations, from concert halls to
museums, from recordings to repositories.
Electricka's Resource Shelf is a 21st century electronic search tool for
discovering and locating arts resources. The Shelf helps you select just the resources
you want to access—those that are related to
your specific arts interests—and to reach them.
The Shelf contains two sections:
- The Catalog
- Resource Reviews
When a resource is a web site or is located at a web site, the Shelf
gives you the links you need to reach it—on the spot
and without delay. But don't confuse the Shelf with a simple list of off-site links such as those
found at many web sites; and don't confuse it with online library
card catalogs or bookstore inventory databases. It's like nothing else you may
have seen.
Information contained on the Shelf is supplied by Electricka's
visitors and ETAF Staff.
How
it works—summary
The Shelf contains two sections: 1) the Catalog, and 2) the
Reviews. No special knowledge is required to use either section. Each
section is simple to use:

Shelf in depth
Most visitors familiar with off-site links and search tables at other
web sites have little or no trouble using the Shelf. However, the more you
know about Electricka's Resource Shelf, the more benefit you will receive.

Your Own catalog
entry or resource review; or send an update
Electricka invites you to send
a Catalog entry, a new Resource Review, or an update that she can publish in
these features. Send one, two, or all three:
- A brief write-up on your favorite arts resource for the Catalog—whether
it's your own web site or art project or one that you know about or
admire—one that Electricka's visitors can link to, visit in person,
borrow, or acquire.
- A Resource Review on an arts resource or cultural asset you believe
visitors should and would like to know about.
- Arts-related web sites are added, removed, or changed
constantly. Electricka asks you to help her keep her Shelf up to date by
sending her corrections, changes, or additions to items already listed in
the Catalog or in Resource Reviews.
To encourage you to send entries and updates, Electricka
has declared Electricka's Resource Shelf an Arts Information feature.
She invites you to explore the guidelines for contributors now.
