ARTstor is a digital library of almost one million images in the areas of art, architecture, the humanities and the social sciences, and is available to the campus community through the Ithaca College Library's website [www.ithacalibrary.com/research/databases.php]. Beginning in Fall 2009, the VRC's own collection of almost 20,000 digital images will be made available to the entire Ithaca College community through ARTstor's hosting program, for use by faculty and students across campus, both inside and outside the classroom.
The hosting program allows the VRC to upload the Art History Department's teaching collection of images to ARTstor's site. This will provide faculty with an even larger repository of images for teaching and student study, and also allow the department's images to be seamlessly integrated with ARTstor's vast collection, either via ARTstor's online presentation tools, or through its Offline Image Viewer. The VRC will continue to expand the department's digital image database and will be adding new images to the ARTstor repository on an ongoing basis.
