Navigating Collections of Art Images

This session provides tips on how to navigate collections of art images, which include galleries, libraries, archives, and museums. Art images are widely available online today, but many of them are low quality and lack detailed descriptions if any at all.

Learn how to locate original pieces of artwork and high-quality reproductions, their potential for research and teaching, and how to use them legally according to Canadian copyright law.

After this workshop, attendees will be able to:

• Locate online (free or licensed) and physical collections of art
• Explain copyright and licensing issues associated with art images
• Cite art images according to proper bibliographic standards
