"Exploring the ARTstor Digital Library"
February 28, 2005
3:30 PM
Whitman College, Olin 180 or Maxey Lab (Location TBA)

Presenters:
* Thomas Sebastian, Associate Professor of German, Department of Modern
Languages and Literatures, Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas
* Gina Dabrowski, Program Associate, Midwest Instructional Technology
Center, Ann Arbor, Michigan

Thomas Sebastian and Gina Dabrowski will demonstrate the ARTstor Digital
Library and facilitate hands-on practice with the tool. Initiated at The
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the ARTstor Digital Library is comprised of
over 300,000 digital images and their corresponding data; the tools to make
active use of those images; and an online environment intended to balance
the interests of users with those of content providers. The collection is
intended for those interested in teaching and learning with images. ARTstor
documents artistic and historical traditions across many time-periods and
cultures and focuses on, but is not limited to, the arts. As a campus-wide
resource, ARTstor is designed to be used by researchers and teachers in
fields that do not traditionally use images, as well as by art historians.
