Find digital images for History of Science
Wednesday 17 November, 10.00 - 12 noon, Radcliffe Science Library Training Room
We subscribe to two of the biggest image databases, ARTstor and Bridgeman Education. They contain a million high-quality images suitable for use in papers and presentations. Both comprehensively cover locations, subjects, periods and media, but their content can be vastly different. Navigation and tools (eg Print, Save, Send) also differ. Find out more about the science-related content, searching and using images, at a presentation open to all Oxford University students and staff. The second half is a chance to practice; if you are unable to stay for the full two hours, you are still very welcome to attend.
