Learning and Teaching Center (Old)

From the ARTstor website: The roots of ARTstor, as well as its name, can be traced to the Foundation's creation of JSTOR. JSTOR's goal is to serve the scholarly community by building, making available, and preserving a reliable and comprehensive archive of important scholarly journal literature. ARTstor was created in recognition of an increasing focus in the educational community on creating digital image resources in support of teaching needs. ARTstor's Digital Library Collection is a repository of hundreds of thousands of digital images and the tools to actively use those images in a restricted usage environment that seeks to balance the rights of content providers with the needs and interest of content users. http://www.artstor.org/info/about/history_mission.jsp.

Heidi Eyestone, Curator of the Slide Collection for Art & Art History, facilitator; Baird Jarman, Assistant Professor of Art History; and Lew Weinberg, Academic Computing Coordinator were co-facilitators for the workshop, which included a short introduction of ARTstor, a demonstration and questions.
