A collection of circulating CD-ROM works concerning art, architecture, and design is available at the Gimbel Library. Currently, the collection includes mostly art-historical titles and image archives.
Some works reflect in-depth scholarship and have a sophisticated structure.
Others are simple, un-annotated image archives. For the student of art history, works such as Microsoft Art Gallery provide critical insight through interrelationships between works and their context. Compilations such as European Paintings are sources of good-quality art historical reproductions easily used through word processor, graphics, or presentation software. For studio use, high-quality, manipulable images of Everyday Objects or Visual Symbols can aid the creative process. Details about each CD, such as a synopsis or thumbnail samples, are included here, by CD title.
