COMING ATTRACTION!

Beginning in July we will start a campus-wide subscription to ARTstor, the leading digital image library. It contains over a million images for teaching and is global in scope! You can explore it at the link here: http://www.artstor.org/index.shtml

We will continue to support teaching with both MDID, the local art image library, and 35 millimeter slides for those who prefer them, but get ready to have an ocean of images available to you!

NEW HAVEN — Yale University officials announced yesterday that the school intends to be the first in the Ivy League to offer free online access to digital images of millions of objects housed in its museums, archives, andhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif libraries.

No license will be required for transmission of the images, and no limitations will be imposed on their use, which will allow scholars, artists and others around the world to use Yale collections for study, publication, teaching, and inspiration, Yale officials said.

And they have only digitized 250,000 of their millions of objects. From Sioux war bonnets to Mozart manuscripts, more is on the way!
