Happy new year and welcome back! Lots to catch you up on!
ARTstor has a few new nifty tips and tools. They now have ARTstor mobile accessible from iPhones, iPads, or the iPod Touch. Features of the mobile version include searching images by keyword and viewing in list form with options of tapping to enlarge or rotate, or open info about the image. You can also view saved image groups but the coolest addition is the flashcard view which will let you see the image and then flip if over to see the info about it. You can use this like a flashcard to study for exams! See more about about ARTstor Mobile.
Another feature useful for exam prepping, is printing entire saved image groups. ARTstor will print saved image groups in list form with large thumbnails and the associated info for each image, making it easy to use as a study handout. You can also save this printable handout as a web page by saving as an HTML file from your browser. See it on ARTstor's news.
To see how to create an ARTstor account, save image groups, and do many other useful things as a Texas State student, faculty, or staff, see my other ARTstor posts on Art & Design Inforama or view my tutorial Creating URls and Power Points from ARTstor Image Groups.
If you would like me to give an ARTstor workshop, please email me, Tara, or leave a comment here. I am trying to gauge interest.

Happy New Year!
Welcome back everyone. I wanted to share a couple of award opportunities with you:
The Amon Carter Museum seeks applications for the 2010 Davidson Family Fellowship. Established in 1997, the fellowship provides support for scholars working toward the Ph.D. or at the postdoctoral level to research topics in the history of American art and culture that relate to objects in the museum's permanent collections. The museum collections cover the period between 1835 to 1950 in painting, sculpture, drawings and prints, photography from its beginnings to the present, and rare books. Proposals from qualified individuals in related disciplines are also welcome.
The deadline for receipt of applications is March 15, 2010. The stipend is $5,000 for a minimum four-week period of full-time research conducted at the museum before September 30, 2010.
More information, including the application form, is available at:
http://www.cartermuseum.org/library/davidson-family-fellowship
And another award from ARTstor:
We would like to share information about a new ARTstor travel award program with you and your colleagues.
The ARTstor Travel Awards program will provide five research travel awards in the amount of $1,500 each to support educational and scholarly activities. While the digital age is opening up new approaches and techniques for using images of the world's cultural heritage as evidence in teaching and scholarship, there is no substitute for engagement with original works and sites, for research in archives that hold primary source material, or for attending conferences with colleagues engaged with similar issues. In recognition of this need, ARTstor will provide five research travel awards in the amount of $1,500 each (to be used by September 1, 2011) to help support the educational and scholarly activities of graduate students, scholars, curators, educators, and librarians in any field in the arts, architecture, humanities, and social sciences.
To be considered for a research travel award, applicants must create and submit an ARTstor image group (or a series of image groups) and a single accompanying essay that creatively and compellingly demonstrates why the image group(s) is useful for teaching, research, or scholarship. The five winning submissions will be determined by ARTstor staff. These submissions will help ARTstor to understand better the uses that scholars and teachers are making of ARTstor's content and tools and will provide us with insights into how we can continue to improve our efforts to serve the educational community.
