Did you know that over half a million high quality digital images are currently available to LMU in a searchable database?
ARTstor is a digital library containing nearly 550,000 images in the areas of art, architecture, humanities and social sciences. Thousands of additional images are added each month covering a wide range of cultures and time periods.
You might be familiar with ARTstor as a resource for art images, but it’s also a wonderful resource for interdisciplinary image research. Megan Marler, a representative from ARTstor, will provide an introduction to using ARTstor as a research tool across academic disciplines. Jamie Hazlitt, a reference librarian at LMU, will follow up with additional information for conducting visual research at the Von der Ahe Library.
Lunch will be included, please RSVP to teachers@lmu.edu or Ext.85866
