Looking for Images to Enhance Your Educational Sessions? Use ARTStor
Enhance your educational sessions, presentations, lectures, and/or workshops using content from ARTStor. ARTStor, an online image library, contains nearly a million images of people, art, places, and everything in between. It should be used for educational and scholarly purposes only (see ARTStor’s Terms and Conditions of Use).
Here are some useful things to know about ARTStor:
- There is a collection of items under “Science, Technology, and >…. ” But don’t limit yourself just to those items as there are a lot of health and life sciences content to be found in the entire collection.
- You can zoom in on and pan images for greater detail, and you can print or download images or image details and related data.
- Register with ARTstor and email your institutional contact to request instructor privileges to receive all the restricted enhancements of the resource, such as creating groups of images for later retrieval and presentation, organizing image groups into shared folders and uploading personal images and sound files to the ARTstor platform, then direct other ARTstor users to your image groups.
- You can save citations for images or image groups, and email or print these, or export them directly into EndNote, ProCite, RefWorks, Reference Manager, or a text file.
Check out their FAQ for more information about the resource and tips for using it. Access ARTstor on campus by searching for “ARTstor” in the “Search for Online Materials” box on the Biomedical Library’s Homepage.
Have your own collection of images and would like to share with your UC colleagues? Consider adding them as a Collection.
