Add to Image Database
The image database is being created to allow faculty and staff to instantly download images from a server. Images are found through keywords to allow you to find only the images you need. Please provide keyword suggestions or a resource to find information on the images you want VARC to include in the database. This database is to supplement the images that are already available through KSU’s subscription to ArtStor.org and other image databases to which the KSU library holds subscriptions. If you would like more information on this database, please see Shane McDonald in the Visual Arts Resource Center.
