ARTSTOR: Offline Image Viewer 4.0

Posted on by

artstorArtstor announced the release of the Offline Image Viewer 4.0. This new release includes the following new features and a bug fix:

New Features:

  • Compatible with Mac OS X 10.9 and Windows 8.
  • Link to image viewer – clicking the link to image viewer icon on an image will open that image in the image viewer within the Digital Library.
  • Embedded hyperlinks – you can now embed hyperlinks in your OIV slides.
  • Saving to legacy format – this version of OIV allows presentations to be saved in OIV 2.6 format so that they can be opened by OIV version 2.6 and above (without image viewer linking functionality). This version can also open OIV 2.6 and 3.X files.

Bug Fix:

  • Dual-screen presentations – when using two screens in presentation mode, images will advance in pairs, e.g. screen 1 will show odd-numbered images, screen 2 will show even-numbered images.

To access this new version, uninstall any previous versions of OIV, log into your account, and install OIV 4.0 by following these directions:  http://help.artstor.org/wiki/index.php/OIV_Installing

Please contact Artstor User Services if you have any questions or comments.

The Artstor image database is located in the list of databases alphabetical by title on the librarytab in myRedDragon.

The Library’s New Innovative Way to Search for Information:

Posted on by

Memorial Library is excited to announce a new way of searching resources.   The search channel on the library tab has changed to include a new default search.  Now you can search the library’s full-text content (electronic and print), including journals, books, and databases simultaneously.  This customized searching experience is based on the EBSCOhost interface you already know.  The classic catalog, databases, and journals are searched by clicking the other tabs within the search channel.

For more information, see a librarian or contact the Research Help Desk (607) 753-2590.

TMC Inspiration Station

Posted on by

The Inspiration Station is a hands-on creative space in the front of the Teaching Materials Center dedicated to education students working on lesson plans and other classroom projects. Many craft materials are available such as: markers and crayons, stencils, stamps, construction paper… and so much more!

A highlight of the station is the Ellison machine, which is used to create cut-out shapes that are ideal for bulletin boards and posters. Among the available Ellison die cuts are the alphabet, numbers, holidays, world countries and shapes.

 

 

Students are invited to leave feedback and suggestions for future additions to the space. As one of these comments stated: “Love it! So happy you got this, I can make my work/projects even better now!” The Inspiration Station is a vibrant part of the library that’s always growing- just like the TMC itself.
