Art Appreciation: Image Searching

For instructions on how to image search, view the instructions box to the right:

Databases to consider for image searching in the library are:

• Academic Search Ultimate
• America: History and Life with Full Text

You may also conduct a short keyword search in a database and look for Images in the Content to the right of the results. Here are some databases, which may best utilize this feature:

• Fine Arts
• Opposing Viewpoints
• College
• U.S. History (GALE IN CONTEXT)
• World History (GALE IN CONTEXT)

*Please note that the library does not possess an image database or collection. The databases suggested above simply house some images within them.

In the America: History and Life with Full Text and the Academic Search Ultimate databases, you can tailor your search specifically for images.

Steps:

• Select Databases on the library homepage
• Navigate to either America: History and Life with Full Text or Academic Search Ultimate in the list
• Inside the database in the blue bar at the top, click "More", which should present a dropdown menu.
• From that menu select "Images".
• In the new search screen that comes up, search for images by using keywords.
  • Be sure to search for phrases in quotation marks, such as: "great depression"

Note: If you select an image to view, there is additional information including the permissions.
