Find Images

Artstor allows you to search over 270 collections from the world's museums, archives, libraries, artists, and scholars all in one place.

There are different ways you can search for content in Artstor:

  • Browse by geography, classification, or collection
  • Keyword and filtered search
  • Advanced search

Search all the Ebsco Image Collections at once. Enter Library One Search and click on Image Search in the top menu.

 

Use the Advanced Search page to limit to photographs (at the bottom of the page)

 

 

On the results page, look at the Content Provider on the left hand side to select different or more collections.

 

 

 

1. To search for Images, enter an Ebsco database and mouse over More on the top menu and select Images

 
  1. Enter your search terms for the image you want in the search box (i.e., mountains).

    Your search term must match exactly a word in the title or caption of an image; the search term mountains does not yield the same results as the search term mountain range. You can use Boolean terms to further specify your search. (For example: mountains and rivers.)

  2. Click Search. A Results List consisting of thumbnail images with brief descriptions appears.

  3. Your results will be limited to the Image Collection (smaller set of results). Select Image Quick View Collection for more. 

Some databases allow you to search by Caption. Your results will be a list of articles or book chapters that have images in them with your search terms in the captions. Open the PDF's to find the images.
