Posie,
Check out the Library Comparison Source.
http://www.lcsource.com/
They will run a test comparison for you before you buy.

ARTstor so far looks great! Our users are excited. We are planning
more online training sessions direct from ARTstor for our Art Dept.
There are so many more images in ARTstor than AMICO which is a big plus.

Subject: [SERIALST] Database comparison resource?

Does anyone know of a good (unbiased) resource for comparing/assessing electronic databases?

Also, is anyone willing to comment on the pros and cons of acquiring the AMICO database versus the ARTstor database (based on personal experience)?

Thanks,
