[webco-announce] WebCheckout Popularity Increases in Art School Circle

[Daniel Pyne]

Greetings WebCheckout Community and Friends,

WebCheckout continues to galvanize its position within the Higher 
Education market as the leader in resource scheduling and management. 
In particular, 2008 has proven to be the “Year of the Art School” with 
several notable mentions across North America.

The Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt) was the first art 
school to join the WebCheckout Community in 2008.  Founded in 1873, 
MassArt is one of the oldest, and the only publicly funded, 
free-standing art school in the US.  MassArt  also holds the honor of 
being the first art college in the US to grant a degree.  WebCheckout 
will help MassArt to continue to provide its students with the resources 
needed to complete their degree programs.

The California College of the Arts (CCA) in Oakland and San Francisco 
followed suit.  Formerly called the California College of Arts and 
Crafts, CCA has a rich history of influencing - and in some cases 
establishing - late 20th century art movements. Among these are the 
ceramics movement of the 1960s, the photorealist movement of the 1970s, 
and the Bay Area Figurative Movement.  WebCheckout is being deployed in 
various areas within both CCA campuses to manage their expansive 
equipment inventory loaned to students.

The WebCheckout hometown of Chicago has given birth to Flashpoint 
Academy: a brand new, highly visible and upwardly mobile 2-year school 
dedicated to the advancement of higher learning in the field of digital 
arts and entertainment technologies.  Flashpoint adopted WebCheckout 
this summer as a ground floor technology to manage their rapidly growing 
facility.

Another recent addition to the WebCheckout Community is the University 
of Pennsylvania School of Design (Penn Design).  Penn Design not only 
holds the distinction of being a member of the elite Ivy League, but 
also having a long list of notable alumni including architect Louis 
Kahn.  WebCheckout will be deployed in the Undergraduate Fine Arts 
Photography Department as its primary equipment and facilities 
management tool.

The WebCheckout Year of the Art School is not limited to schools in the 
United States.  Concordia University Faculty of Fine Arts in Montreal 
joined the retinue of 2008 WebCheckout art schools this week.  Concordia 
University Fine Arts boasts the most comprehensive fine arts program in 
Canada, with over 3,400 students enrolled in 53 bachelors, masters, and 
doctoral programs.  WebCheckout will ensure that the Faculty of Fine 
Arts has a handle on the supply of portable resources and facilities to 
meet their formidable demand.

The WebCheckout Team
