To use ARTstor.org at BGSU you have to jump through hoops. If you happen to live off campus, you have even more steps. ARTstor is not free, so there is a reason for the steps. There could just be some clear cut instructions given to art students. Thanks to a few emails back and forth between my art history professor and myself, this process is a lot clearer now.
Step 1: Go to the BGSU Libraries site.
Step 2: Click on Research Databases.
Step 3: Click A.
Step 4: Go to page 3.
Step 5: Click on the #28, Artstor listing.
Step 6: Click on Off-Campus Access on that page.
Step 7 : Type in your last name and P00#, click Submit.
Step 8: Click the "SEARCH AND BROWSE FOR IMAGES."
Step 9: Wait a really, really, really long time for the massive Java app to load.
See. That was less then 10 steps, piece of cake. The site is very helpful. I wish I was told about it the FIRST time I took an art history class (that would have been years ago, say 1999).
