The VMC Collection The Visual Media Collection of Art and Architecture Images can be accessed in one of three ways: by visiting our facility at Kresge 3-435 and using the slide collection; by browsing our online library catalog, and by using the Digital Image Library. The online library catalog provides users with library record information for both slides and digital images in the collection. To find out whether a slide is part of our collection, go to the VMC's OPAC search page within the NU library system. As of spring 2007, our digital collection is available online using the Digital Image Library search and slideshow software. This allows faculty to create stable slide presentations using VMC images and their own imported images. Students may also search the collection and view slideshows. We maintain an ongoing digitization project which is constantly growing our digital collection. Access to viewable images on both DIL and the library pages is restricted to members of the Northwestern community. Use an NU netid and password to log in. Questions about the collection and/or digital tools may be sent here. Useful Links: Download Order Forms: Department Links: |
