The Ritz Library Book Catalog - ANYWHERE!!!

Looking for a book in the library stacks but can't find an open computer to use the online catalog? Would you rather use your mobile device or smart phone? Try out the new QR code we've placed on the ends of the library shelves throughout the 3rd floor. You'll need to install a QR code scanner on your smart phone - just look for it in the App Store on iPhone or iPod Touch or in the Market on an Android-equipped device. Once you've installed it, use it to scan the code & you've got instant access to the Ritz catalog anywhere, not just in the library!

Look for the code above & get scanning!!

Mobile Access to ArtStor Now Available

ArtStor,the Ritz's database of digital images of art works, can now be accessed through Apple's iPad, iPhone, & iPod Touch mobile devices using Safari.

Containing over 1 million images of paintings, sculpture, drawing and photographs, ArtStor is considered to be the best Internet source for images of art works. All images are in extremely high resolution. A special feature of mobile access is Flashcard View, which allows users to test their knowledge of artworks without descriptions of the object.

To use ArtStor mobile, set up an account on the system. You must do that by accessing ArtStor from a computer on the DCC campus. Start by going to http://library.artstor.org/library/welcome.html . Register for an account through the "Welcome to ArtStor" link.

More information on this resource is available from ArtStor's Mobile page.
