A recent update from Ex Libris finally let us index our Artstor records in OneSearch. To find images from Artstor in OneSearch, just use the “Images” filter after you run a search. Here’s an example of a search that I ran for the sculptor Louise Bourgeois and then limited it to “Images.”

Remote Access to Artstor Is Working Again
As it turned out, Artstor had been doing work on its search system and changed enough things that remote access broke for all libraries using EZproxy. Remote access is now working again.
Remote Access Problems for Artstor
On the EZproxy mailing list, a number of libraries are reporting the same problems we’ve been seeing here at Baruch. On campus access is fine, but users from off campus aren’t able to view content (they can log in and get to the Artstor home screen, but that’s it).
Today, I’ll be trying a number of fixes to our settings in EZproxy suggested on the mailing list by other librarians to see what works (neither Artstor nor OCLC, which owns EZproxy have working solutions of their own yet).
