Earlier in the school year ArtStor made a minor change: Users wishing to save pictures from the ArtStor database must now log in to their user account. Thankfully, creating an account and logging in to it is very easy. There is a prompt in the upper right-hand corner of the ArtStor main page, immediately visible after a user enters the digital art library:
Registering must be done from an SPS networked computer. Following this, users may then access their ArtStor account from off the grounds.
ArtStor has written more detailed instructions about registering for an account HERE.
A new research guide for the humanities Cold War Speech project is available on the library’s website. Use this guide to identify and review: useful eReference sources, recommended library catalog searches (for both print and eBooks), historical newspapers, historical newsreels and Noodlebib citation tutorials.
Please feel free to contact Ms. Sanborn (lsanborn at sps dot edu) for a research consultation and/or to discuss any of the items in this guide.
