More Online Art Images

We've added one more database provided by the Electronic Library of Minnesota, CAMIO. CAMIO stands for Catalog of Art Museum Images Online, and is a collection of images of art from the collections of prominent museums. CAMIO covers prehistoric to contemporary times, including the complete range of expressive forms. You can find CAMIO on our Databases A-Z list, which is linked from the Library's home page. It's also on the Art/Art History and Interior Design Subject Guides.

The Electronic Library of Minnesota (ELM) has dropped the Gale Professional Collection, which contained mostly resources for educators, so that resource is no longer on our Databases A-Z list. However, we've added resources like EBSCO's Professional Development Collection and ERIC, so that should balance it out.
