ARTstor online training

Do you want to get started using advanced ARTstor features and create custom collections for your classes? The Walker Library is offering a one hour webinar, hosted by an ARTstor trainer, this Friday, 11/4 at 2:00 pm.

The trainer will provide an introduction to ARTstor and then cover advanced features and instructor-level tools.

The ARTstor database contains digital collections from over 130 museum and cultural heritage centers including the J. Paul Getty Museum, the American Folk Art Museum, the The Art Institute of Chicago, and the The British Library, to name a few. It includes 1.3+ million images in the arts, architecture, humanities, and sciences.

ARTstor is a non-profit online digital image library designed to serve educational and scholarly communities. ARTstor provides tools and software to search, present, and share digital images both online and offline for research and pedagogical purposes.

Instructors can create folders and add descriptions and upload files to share with students. For instructor level access, contact mepozzeb@mtsu.edu.
