Presentation tool (OIV)

Lee Krasner; Composition; 1949 ARTstor user may download images from the Digital Library at up to 1024 pixels on the long side. Approximately 95% of ARTstor’s collections are available at the larger 1024 size, while the remaining 5% may be downloaded at 400 pixels. Once downloaded, these JPEG files may be used in any software environment for classroom presentation, as well as other non-commercial and scholarly uses. In this way, instructors may export any ARTstor content for use in PowerPoint, Keynote, or any other presentation software of choice.

ARTstor has also developed the Offline Image Viewer (OIV), an alternative tool for giving offline classroom presentations. OIV allows users to download much larger images from ARTstor for presentation, at up to 3200 pixels on the long side. All ARTstor participants have access to this software, which may be used with the more than 700,000 images in the Digital Library. Users may combine ARTstor images with their own content to create digital slide show presentations that feature side-by-side comparisons, zooming and panning, and the ability to customize text on the slides.

We offer detailed, step-by-step directions for using the OIV in the Presenting Images section of our Online Help.

Public OIV is a standalone freeware version of OIV that is available for download and use by anyone, particularly those instructors whose institutions do not currently subscribe to ARTstor. Like the standard ARTstor OIV, Public OIV allows users to create presentations incorporating slide shows, side-by-side comparisons, zooming and panning, and the ability to add text to slides. However, since Public OIV will not display nor permit access to images from the ARTstor Digital Library, users must provide their own content.

We have set up a Public OIV Forum for discussion. Please visit the forum with any questions, comments, or observations about the OIV freeware software.
