ARTstor has Improved Functionality


ARTstor, a collection of hundreds and thousands of digital images, has improved the functionality of and corrected errors related to several features in the Digital Library.

• URL links to images and groups will open the image viewer consistently, whether a user clicks the link on a web page, in an email or document, or pastes the URL into a browser address bar.

• URL links to image groups will allow ARTstor users (on-campus or accessing through a user account) to open the group, regardless of the access rights on the image group’s folder.

• Changes made to the order of image groups within folders can now be saved successfully, and changes will persist in future sessions.

• Folders created and edited through the Folder Manager window can be assigned ‘Public’ access, and saved successfully without receiving an error message.

• Folders assigned ‘Private’ access with no password will no longer display as ‘Public’ in the Folder Manager window.

If you have further questions about using these features, please consult the ARTstor Help pages (http://help.artstor.org) or contact User Services at 888-278-0079 / userservices@artstor.org.
