Visual Resource Center Collections are developed in response to course needs. Please contact the VRC Curator if you are an Art & Design Faculty Member and do not find the images you need for instruction in our collections or in the ARTstor subscription database. Films may be approved for purchase; please contact the VRC Curator or the Art History Area Coordinator with this request.

Publications

The VRC publications collection consists of a variety of donated books, monographs, gallery catalogs, and journals on topics in art & art history, communication design and advertising, or architecture. These are available for browsing at the JCM 3102a Learning Lab only; they may not be borrowed. Included in the publications collection is the Lyle Metzdorf Collection of Graphic Design and Advertising books.

Student Use

Students may view publications, some course textbooks, student theses, films, or art imagery while at the 3102a lab. If needed for a class presentation, students may borrow a small number of 35mm slides during the day of their presentation. These students may visit the collections up to 3 days prior to their presentation, in order to select slides and place them on hold for their class presentation.
