- Artstor digital library contains millions of licensed and open access images [Learn more]
- Images from the digital library and/or personal collections can be organized into groups [Learn more].
- Presentations of images can be created from groups [Learn more].
- Downloaded into a powerpoint
- Viewed in an online viewer with features like pan-and-zoom and quiz mode!
- JMU faculty and staff can now add images to the Artstor platform using a behind-the-scenes tool called “JSTOR Forum.” [Learn more]
- Heavy-duty cataloging and metadata tools
- More granular sharing permissions (e.g. list specific users, as one might for a class)
- Creation of institutional collections
In 2018-2019, JMU Libraries will be giving demonstrations and workshops in Artstor and JSTOR Forum, and asking for faculty feedback. Artstor’s own webinars are excellent [See webinars].
MDID (link to existing MDID page) has been used at JMU for decades and will still be available for similar purposes to Artstor.
