Corbis is Back

SVA once again has access to Corbis Education. The site continues to undergo revamping. We’ll keep you posted of any changes. For now access is still available once you create a free account using the subscription code. The code is the same so if you still have it, use it. If you need it contact Caitlin at the library.

Corbis is Dead

Corbis is Dying Dead!
No not the giant image company but rather the subset they made of their gazillions of pictures for students to use called Corbis Education. According to a letter the library received ‘The Corbis Education Program is undergoing significant enhancements in 2007. The current subscription code based program will be discontinued as of 10/31/07. Your current subscription ends on 9/1/07.’ Here’s where is gets interesting. It looks we still have access. So get your high resolution images while they last. As soon as they are done with their ‘enhancements’ and relaunch the product, we will be sure to start a subscription. In the mean time check out the other online image databases you have access to on the library’s website <http://www.sva.edu/sr/index.jsp?sid0=258&sid1=262&page_id=602>. Or, go totally analog and visit the library’s picture collection <http://www.sva.edu/sr/index.jsp?sid0=258&sid1=263>.
