INSIGHT DIGITAL IMAGE COLLECTION

The Visual Resources Library maintains a rapidly growing collection of over 100,000 digital images which are available in our digital image database, known as Insight. Insight also provides access to over 200,000 digital images from other institutions. Insight is a digital media storage, management, and delivery system designed for research and teaching. Insight makes it easy to work with digital image files and also supports audio, video, and virtual reality.

The images in Insight can be used by Emory faculty, staff and students for educational purposes. You can use Insight's own image presentation tool, or you can export the images for use in other presentation software such as PowerPoint.

USING THE INSIGHT DIGITAL IMAGE DATABASE

The steps for getting started with Insight are as follows:

1. Download the Insight client software (version 5.6) from Emory's Software Express (restricted Emory-only access).

2. Launch the Insight 5.6 software client and log into the system using your Emory username and password.

INSIGHT TRAINING

Insight training is available by request through the Emory's Center for Interactive Teaching (ECIT).  

ECIT also offers regular learning sessions to introduce attendees to Insight. View the ECIT schedule to find the next available Insight learning session.
