ARTstor Update 8/21/09

ARTstor has announced the following:

New collection agreement: World Monuments Fund
ARTstor is collaborating with the World Monuments Fund (WMF) to share approximately 2,000 images of architecture, sites, and monuments from around the world in the Digital Library.

Now available in ARTstor: Additional images from The Metropolitan Museum of Art
More than 1,000 images from The Metropolitan Museum of Art have been added to the Digital Library, including hundreds of additions to Images for Academic Publishing (IAP).

New features: Save details to image groups and nested folders
In response to feedback from our user community, ARTstor has released two new features in the Digital Library. You will now see an icon in the ARTstor Image Viewer that allows you to zoom in and save a particular detail of an image to an image group. With this new feature, full views and multiple details of an image may appear together in any given group, as well as be exported for use in the Offline Image Viewer (OIV) or PowerPoint. This ability to save and share multiple views of the same image helps to meet the many teaching, research, and presentation needs of the ARTstor community.

ARTstor has also enhanced the functionality of folders in the Digital Library. Instructor-level users can now create nested sub-folders that can be moved easily from one folder to another by dragging and dropping. For example, you may build draft versions of your image groups in a private folder and simply drag them to a public folder when they are ready to be shared. The addition of nested folders allows you to organize ARTstor content in ways that are meaningful and intuitive to you
