Finding Images

The Library subscribes to the CARLI Digital Collections, a collection of a variety of archives of images of art, photography, architecture, history and other humanities subject areas. In addition, the Library has selected a comprehensive collection of image databases in a variety of topics for student and faculty use, bearing in mind the copyright restrictions for these open access resources.

Linking to Images

1. Identify the method defined by the database for presenting persistent links to single images or to collections of images that you define (faculty folders).
2. Obtain the persistent link to the image or to the faculty folder, or download the image to your local machine (if allowed).
3. Copy this link to your clipboard for pasting into BB, or upload the image to the BB server.
4. Decide how you want to present the link to the student. You can choose to do an "external link," create a link to the image or folder in the text of an assignment or embed single images into your course pages.

NOTE: Depending on the resource, embedding single images into your course pages can carry copyright restrictions. Image repositories owned by the Library do, in most cases, allow you to "pull" the image from the Internet to embed. If in doubt, don't do it, and see the Online College librarian for help.

How to download Images: Right-click on the Image and choose "Save Image As..." Choose a location for your download that you'll remember.
