My ARTstor
With Instructor Privileges, you can customize your ARTstor account to tailor it to your and your students' needs.
Public Folders: Create public folders that your students can easily access and use for their study guides, papers, and presentations. From the Navigation Menu, click on Share > Create Folder. A series of windows will prompt you to enter a folder name and to select if you would like to "Make folder public at my institution." You will also have the option to select another person in addition to yourself who has access to edit the folder ("write access"). Finally, a confirmation window will appear with the name of your folder, which means it is now available to all institutional users. You can also create password protected folders as well as student work folders (please see help links in the left-hand sidebar).
Personal Collection: Enhance your ARTstor folders with your personal content. With one gig of space, you can even include multimedia such as MP3's. To upload your files, from the navigation menu choose Upload > Upload to personal collection > Image and audio files. Click browse to select your files and then choose upload.
Subject Guides
A great resource for interdisciplinary research, ARTstor subject guides are one-page PDF's that outline helpful collections, search tips, and search terms for different subjects. Guides range from the History of Medicine and Natural Science to Languages and Literature. Great inspiration for using images for teaching any subject.
Citing Images
Please refer to ARTstor's guide on how to properly cite images obtained from an image database. This guide also discusses how to export citations to RefWorks, our online citation management program.
