I am pleased to announce we are part of a CSU system subscription to the visual image database ARTstor! This is doubly good news, as the subscription does not impact the funds allocated for books and journals for art.
There is a link to ARTstor on the A-Z database page and I'll soon be adding one to the list of Art and Design resources on the library subject page. You can also access the database from http://www.artstor.org
What is ARTstor? As the source itself says, "You can search and browse approximately 550,000 images contained in over 50 collections within the ARTstor Digital Library. Once you find images that interest you, ARTstor includes tools that enable you to organize these images into image groups. Image groups can be used to give presentations, study for quizzes or tests, or kept simply for your personal reference. You may also share image groups with other ARTstor users through the use of shared folders."
ARTstor has a great degree of functionality both in searching and storing images. I invite you to try out this database, post your responses and reactions here, and of course contact me directly with questions!

Hi Rebecca! It's exciting that we have ARTStor. Such a great image search tool...
On a sort of related note, have you seen the Library of Congress Flickr page yet? It's a stunning collection of their photos and another great image source.
Hi Rebecca,
May we use ARTStor images in our theses? Thanks!
