Using Images in Papers
This page outlines how you can use Artstor images in papers, including:
Citing Images
Citing images can be tricky. The Library of Congress provides a great overview of how to cite images/primary source materials like paintings, photographs, and documents. Read more here: http://www.loc.gov/teachers/usingprimarysources/citing.html
Your university's librarians are a tremendous resource for learning how to cite images and other sources--reach out to them with further questions!
Using the Citation Tool
Artstor Digital Library features a handy tool to help you save your image citations.
To save citations, highlight image thumbnails in your search results, then go to the top menu: "Tools" > "Save citations for selected images." Back in the "Tools" menu, select "View and export citations." You can send your citations to EndNote, ProCite, Reference Manager, Refworks, or simply view them in printer-friendly format.
Download Images
If you have a registered Artstor Digital Library account you can download images. (Learn how to register for an account here.)
To download an image for a paper, open the image from your search results in the Image Viewer. In the upper right corner, click the download button (highlighted here in red). Accept the terms of use, and your image will begin to download.
Image Metadata
All images in Artstor Digital Library are accompanied by metadata--that is, information about the images. This includes things like title, date, creator, repository, medium, and more. This information provides you with the details you need to cite images.
To view the metadata for an image, download the image, then right click on it and click "Properties". From there, click the "Details" tab. The image rights can be seen in the "rights" field of this page.
