ADDITIONAL IMAGE DATABASES

A multitude of images are available on the Web. Both Google and Yahoo have image search sites with the option of advanced image search, which we recommend to be able to choose specific size file type and color.

When downloading images from the web, evaluate the quality of the digital image before you consider its use. An image scanned at low resolution will appear pixilated and can be ruinous to a presentation. Right click on the image and go to properties to check image file size.

• SAWYER LIBRARY

  Sawyer Library lisences some image databases, including ARTstor, CAMIO, and the Grove Dictionary of Art. Go to "Finding More...how to find...images." Grove provides a component called image search, indexing links to the Bridgeman Art Library, Art Resource and Art Image Links.

DIGITAL IMAGE RIGHTS COMPUTATOR
Visual Resources Association (www.vraweb.org)

A program intended to assist the user in assessing the intellectual property status of a specific image documenting a work of art, a designed object, or a portion of the built environment. Understanding the presence or absence of rights in the various aspects of a given image will allow the user to make informed decisions regarding the intended uses of that image.
