<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">As a follow-up to the below announcement of the online event regarding video artist Ko Nakajima and the launch of CCJ’s new library streaming service (Thursday evening, EST), I am inserting a message from
Ann Adachi, the founder of CCJ, about the streaming service. I’ll send out an invitation for the online event in a moment, though since it contains links I’m not sure it will go through. Otherwise you can check the CCJ’s website for this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">All best, and hope to see you at the event later today / tomorrow (depending on where you are in the world)!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

program. With an aim to broaden the access to works we have been researching and presenting for students, faculty, and researchers, the Viewing Library includes a collection of works by 12 artists and it is meant to be used in the classroom and for individual
research purposes.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">The current viewing site is very basic and uses an available template that is not quite fit for this program. But with a grant received from the Japan US Friendship Commission, we will be working
to revamp the viewing site (where the Viewing Library will be hosted) in 2023. We are looking to add pedagogically friendly tools, and we welcome feedback on how we should improve this site. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">To that end, <u>we would like to invite you to try the Viewing Library for free for a month</u>. After your trial, we would like to collect feedback, either via email or we might organize a survey. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">And of course, we are also hopeful that you will find the program useful for teaching and consider working with your educational institution to subscribe to the program (a semi-annual subscription
gives you access to the entire collection, or a 3-month curated selection is also available). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">This invitation is sent to a limited group of colleagues but if you think of someone who might be interested in this program, please let me know and we can extend the offer to them. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
