Are you using visual images in your scholarship? Don’t miss this upcoming demonstration of ARTstor, an innovative database of electronic images. This demonstration is geared toward faculty and graduate students. See the informational flyer pasted here:
Did you know that over half a million high-quality digital images are currently available to UCLA in a searchable database? Thanks to initial funding from the UC Libraries and CDL (the California Digital Library), every UC campus now has access to ARTstor and the ability to share images!
