Digital Image Access


There are two tools available for accessing digital images at Wheaton. Using ARTstor, faculty may create slide shows of images for class presentations and online student study using both the images provided by ARTstor, and by uploading their own images. Wheaton's collection of digital images, formerly in ISIS, are now accessible through MDID. Students should recieve access instructions and passwords from their course instructor. Any member of the Wheaton community may also use ARTstor to search, view, and use ARTstor's large collection of images in their academic work.
