The Newman Library has arranged for one-month trial membership with the Artstor Digital Library, which contains more than 1.8 million images and tools for education and research. If you register with a Baruch email address, you will be able to search, view, organize, download, print, and share content from some of the world’s leading museums, libraries, scholars, photo archives, and artists.

 

Professor Lisa Ellis of the Newman Library has offered to conduct an Artstor workshop on Tuesday, March 10, at 12:30-1:45pm in room 135, on the first floor of the Library and Technology Building. The workshop will provide a great opportunity for those interested to gain hands-on experience using Artstor. Prof. Ellis will give a general overview of Artstor and cover the following features and functions:

 

• View, Print, and Download Images
• Search
• Image Group Download
• Folders and Image Groups
• Export to Power Point

 

The Artstor trial will be only for the month of March. You will be able to gain access off-campus during the trial, but to do so you must use the following link from the library’s webpage, which requires access via the proxy server:

For the workshop, kindly RSVP to lisa.ellis@baruch.cuny.edu.

 

Please note If you cannot attend, but are interested in scheduling a session for you or your department, please feel free to contact Prof. Ellis to make these arrangements.
