New Database for Images....

Through ARTstor, a new library database, you now have access online to approximately 300,000 visual images and their corresponding data; the tools to make active use of those images; and an online environment intended to balance the interests of users with those of content providers. ARTstor documents artistic and historical traditions across many time-periods and cultures and focuses on, but is not limited to, the arts. As a campus wide resource, ARTstor is designed to be used by researchers in fields that do not traditionally use images, as well as by art historians. Low-resolution images can be exported. The images in ARTstor can be used in student papers, theses, and dissertations (provided the dissertations are not distributed widely).
