Does Penrose Library subscribe to visual resources (images, video) databases?

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Yes, we do!  We have subscriptions to ARTstor (more than a million images), AccuNet/AP Multimedia Archive (photographs, audio sound bites, graphics, and text spanning over 160 years of history), and Theatre in Video (performances of the world’s leading plays and film documentaries on the subject of theater).  For news, check out the “Source Types” tab in Access World News to view video of newscasts from the last two or three years.  We are also building an image collection for our community in “Image Commons.”

To access databases, click on the “Databases” link on the library’s home page.  For images, select “Image databases” from the menu, and for Theatre in Video select “Theatre” from the menu, and then scroll down to click on the database.

For news casts, select “Newpapers, Current” from the menu, and then click on Access World News.  Once in the database, click on the “Sources Types” tab, and then on “Video” to browse through the list of sources.
