First Steps

How do I start the database?

From ASU Library home page, click "Find Database" (third tab from the left). Enter "ARTstor" in the search by Title box, and then click the "Go" button. (If you have not already logged in, you will be prompted to enter your UNET username and password). Then click "ARTstor" on the page of results (it will be the only result shown). An intermediate page appears, after which you will be taken to the ARTstor search page.

To begin searching the database, elick the "Go" button in the box on the upper right (where it says "Enter the ARTstor digital library"). This causes ARTstor's proprietary client to load; it will take over your browser window.

The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.
