PowerPoint Guides

I have created a new user guide for PowerPoint, downloadable from this link. It is a good introductory guide for using PowerPoint for image presentations. The guide applies to PowerPoint 2007 for PCs.

PowerPoint guides for older versions can be found at these links, both from the University of Chicago:

PPT 2000+ on PC platform
PPT 2008 on Mac platform

20,000 New Images from the College of Environmental Design

Now live in ARTstor, you can find 20,000+ new images contributed by the College of Environmental Design at UC Berkeley. These images are accessible to all the UC campuses through the UC Shared Images collection hosted in ARTstor and are integrated with the ARTstor collection. A big thanks is due to Jason Miller, Director of the Visual Resources Collection in the College of Environmental Design, for making this collection available to the UC community.

The collection includes architectural photographs, site plans, floor plans, sections and more. A search on Le Corbusier, for example, retrieves a whopping 567 images from the College of Environmental Design.

New Batch Download Feature in ARTstor

ARTstor has developed a fabulous new time-saving feature that allows you to download images in batches directly into PowerPoint. You no longer have to download images one-by-one for use in PowerPoint! Detail views may be included too.

Check out the 4-minute video tutorial below that I have created. To view it in full-screen mode, click the second icon from the right in the video menu. You may also view it directly on YouTube from this link:
