We are pleased to announce an update that will eliminate the need for Java in the ARTstor Digital Library. In the near future, single image downloads will be delivered in zip files.
ARTstor has been using Java for downloads of individual images, but recently the U.S. Department of Homeland Security began recommending that Java be disabled due to security concerns. After our update, users who download single image files will receive a zip file that contains a JPEG image and an HTML file with the associated metadata. In addition to removing the need for Java, using zip will allow ARTstor to pursue other feature enhancements, such as additional options for image group downloads.
For some users, mainly those on PCs, it will be necessary to install software such as 7Zip to unzip their downloads. Please do take this time to make users at you institution aware of this impending change. We will of course be providing updated help documentation.If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact User Services at userservices@artstor.org.

The Libraries now has access to both the JSTOR Arts & Sciences X and XI collections. Arts and Sciences X is being purchased in cooperation with the Faculty Council on University Libraries, which in March 2011 gained the Faculty Senate’s unanimous approval of a resolution to establish the Faculty Fund for Library Excellence, described as “ a University gift fund available for current and emeritus faculty donors to support the University Libraries’ collections.” JSTOR Arts & Sciences X is an especially appropriate use of funds donated so far because of its broad coverage in Business and the Social Sciences, the History of Science, Technology & Medicine.
Arts & Sciences XI is being acquired with Libraries’ funds, and “ will expand JSTOR’s coverage in the humanities, with scholarship in core fields of Language & Literature, History, and Art & Art History. Comprising a minimum of 125 titles, the collection will include important journals in Classical Studies, Architecture & Architectural History, and Music. Other discipline clusters will include Bibliography, Library Science, Religion, Philosophy, Archaeology, Performing Arts, Film Studies, and Linguistics.
Access is available now. Records for individual titles are in process and will be available in a few weeks.
