Quotes from users about The AMICO Library
"Students liked the extra attention. They really appreciated that these specially-created sites existed to aid in their learning."
- Jeffery Howe, Art History Professor, Boston College (uses works from The AMICO Library in password-protected course websites)"The AMICO Library enlivens my curriculum with new images and new ways to teach art."

"Using The AMICO Library provided a vast repository of visual data and excellent subject matter."
- Eelco Brunisma, Educational Multimedia Professor, University of Leiden"The AMICO Library has this great serendipity factor. The size of the database, the rapidity with which you can scan, allows you to see art and its relation to culture in a far more expansive way, and so to fall upon connections you otherwise would not have seen, and in this way to pull upon the threads which tie together human culture."
- Mark O'Connor, Humanities Professor, Boston College
In June of 2005, the members of the Art Museum Image Consortium voted to dissolve their collaboration. This site remains online for archival reasons.
