Selecting Images

To select an image, click once on a thumbnail. The selected image will be framed in orange. To deselect an image, click again on a selected thumbnail. To clear all your selections choose the “Clear all selections” choice under the "Organize" tab in the top toolbar.

Using the Image Viewer

Double clicking on a thumbnail will open an enlarged view of the image in the Image Viewer. The Image Viewer provides you with tools with which you can zoom in on details, pan to different sections, and rotate the image 360 degrees. It also has tools for printing and saving images. You can use the viewer to proceed sequentially through a presentation as well.

Hayden Library

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.
