After nearly a year-long hiatus, the j2kArcLib.info site is back online. The site is now hosted by OhioLINK. Gratitude goes to the University of Connecticut for hosting the website in the early years. The mailing list, j2karclib-l@listserv.uconn.edu, continues to be hosted by the University of Connecticut.

j2kArcLib.info has been hit with comment spam for online gambling, medicines, and (perhaps vaguely related to the topic at hand) free poronography. Amid the influx was two messages that should have been dealt with more promptly -- Elizabeth Aldrich's offer for the Dance Heritage Coalition's digital video preservation report and Mark Jordan's cross-promotion on his digitizationblog page. Apologies for the delay in sending those through.

This is the text of an announcement that was posted to the IMAGELIB, IFLA DIGLIB, DIGISTATES, DLTIG, ACRLNEC-L, and WEB4LIB mailing lists. If there are others that you think would be interested in hearing about this site, feel free to copy and adapt this text.

The website has a companion mailing list where subscribers can talk about the application of JPEG 2000 in archives, libraries, and related fields. One can subscribe through through the web or send an e-mail to listserv@listserv.uconn.edu with "subscribe j2kArcLib-L your name" as the first line of the message. Archives of the list (accessible through web, NNTP, RSS, and other formats) are available through GMANE.ORG.
