Access to the Slide Collection

The Visual Resources Collection is a teaching resource maintained by, and for, the Department of Art History. The collection provides images (mostly slides) for Department classes. Students giving presentations in Department of Art History classes are given limited access to the slide collection.

At various times, faculty members from other departments in the University request the use of slides for their classes. As it is possible, the department wishes to cooperate with other University programs. The Department of Art History is a small department that depends greatly on its visual materials. Non-departmental regular faculty may request use of the collection for two classes during a semester if the request does not conflict with departmental needs. Slides must be checked out directly before a class and returned immediately afterwards. The department can not accomodate TAs or students from other departments. Requests may be addressed to Donald W. Beetham, Director of the Visual Resources Collection. 

There are digital alternatives to slides being developed. Currently the university does license AMICO images through Luna Insight. It is hoped and expected that the larger ARTstor soon will be added. This will make a large body of digital images available to the entire university.

Procedures for Student Presentations in Art History Classes

Students are encouraged to come at least three weeks before their presentation to ascertain the availability of materials for their topic. If slides are not available for a topic, students will need to provide their own. Copy Photography Help is available online and from the staff of the collection. A graduate camera also is available in the collection. There is a copy stand in the Art Library.
Slides may be reserved within a week of their use. The reserved slides are signed out and placed in a box with the users name which is kept behind the circulation desk until the day of the presentation. Slides may be picked up at any time on the day of use and are due right after class. Carousel trays are available for department classes (but not for outside users).

Projection Equipment

The Department of Art History maintains some projection equipment for Department use. No equipment is lent to other departments in the University. Equipment needs for other departments should be addressed to Media Services (445-3612).
