2008-2009

VRC and Web 2.0 Tools
The VRC is engaged with several Web 2.0 technologies to keep our users informed. We have launched a blog about images, imaging, and related information resources for teaching and research in the Department of Art and Art History. We maintain a Flickr group for faculty, students, and staff members of the Department of Art and Art History to share images relating to creative work and interests; research and scholarship; and departmental activities and facilities (e.g., show openings, the new Visual Arts Complex, etc.). The VRC shares its bookmarks online through a freely available Delicious account. We also have a Facebook page -- please consider becoming a fan!

New Imaging Equipment Available
To better support creative work and documentation in the department, the VRC now offers digital SLR cameras, video cameras, data projectors, tripods, lightkits, and more. This equipment is available by reservation for a checkout period of two business days; students must provide their Buff OneCards at the time of checkout. Please see our Equipment and Classrooms page for more information.

Visiting Artist DVDs
The VRC is pleased to announce that all videos in our archive have been converted to DVD format. Next steps are to provide these digital videos in streaming form through our Luna Insight database. Stay tuned for more details.

ARTstor Reaches One Million Images and Fifth Anniversary
