ARTstor Comes to IIT
In January 2010, IIT became a participating institution in ARTstor, thus making this wonderful resource available to IIT faculty and students.
As described on its website, ARTstor is "a nonprofit digital library of more than one million images in the arts, architecture, humanities, and social sciences with a suite of software tools to view, present, and manage images for research and pedagogical purposes." Collections include images from the Library of Congress, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, and numerous other more specialized collections.
ARTstor has been on the department's wish list for several years because of its potential to enhance teaching and research in so many areas. Access to ARTstor is supported by the joint funding efforts of Galvin Library, the College of Science and Letters, the College of Architecture, and the Institute of Psychology.
