ARTstor Is More Than Art: Images for Asian Studies

September 12, 2012-October 17, 2012
Location: Asia Collection

The UH Manoa Library subscribes to ARTstor, a vast digital image library with 1.4+ million images from over 250 contributing institutions museums, photographic archives, university digital collections, etc. around the world.

With over 30 color pictures from China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, South Asia and Southeast Asia, this exhibit illustrates that images can be found for almost every discipline in arts and humanities, social sciences, and some natural sciences, not just art.

Included in the exhibit are:  a hands-on dedicated computer with a brief tutorial and access for exploring ARTstor; two display cases focusing on:  Copyright uses that do and don't require permission, Citing images, and ARTstor's travel award competition information; and a billboard posting currently scheduled training workshops for students, faculty, and staff.

The exhibit was designed by Linda Laurence Asia Collection technician and Kanako Iwase Visual Resources Librarian, Dept. of Art and Art History.

Appreciation goes out to the following people: The library's Desktop Network Services, especially Eric Wu, for the dedicated computer; Emily Morihara at Campus Center Graphics for handling our orders for color printouts; Etsuko Chopey for ideas and input; and ARTstor for providing colorful bookmarks.
