"North American Indian" volume 20, Little Diomede Island, Boat Crew, by Edward S. Curtis

Our primary mission is to support the curricular needs of all faculty who wish to use images in their courses. To this end, the Visual Resources staff are eager to provide faculty as well as student patrons the best service possible. For more specific information regarding any service, please contact the Visual Resources Office directly (580-5519).

Image Production
Digital image files can be produced in-house or acquired from commercial vendors for classroom purposes only. The turnaround time for in-house production is approximately two weeks and all images are accessioned into the Visual Resources Collections of the Lucy Scribner Library. In addition, digital image files can be produced for online reserves (see below) or for classroom teaching. For digital reserves the minimum turnaround time is one week for requests of 20 images or less. For requests of more than 20 images, or if you are interested in teaching with digital images, please contact the Visual Resources Office directly to make arrangements.

Instruction
We encourage faculty and students to utilize digital images in their teaching and classroom presentations. To this end, classroom and individual instruction in the use of various online databases as well as presentation software (e.g. PowerPoint or ARTstor) for organizing class lectures is available by prior appointment with the Director of Visual Resources.

Reference
Reference inquiries can be handled anytime the Visual Resources Office is open (hours). Also, staff will gladly research your telephone (518-580-5519) or e-mail inquiry to the fullest extent that time permits.

Reserves
Digital image files, slides and study photographs can be placed on reserve for class use or individual study. Slides and study photographs can be placed on reserve at the Circulation Desk, while digital image files can be grouped on the web utilizing the Re:discovery* slide database.

*Accessible to Skidmore students, faculty & staff only.
