New Faculty and Student Galleries on RDID

We have created two new collections in the RISD Digital Image Database: the Faculty Gallery and the Student Gallery. They are designed to host downloadable digital images of work by RISD faculty and students from any department, and we hope that eventually they will become archives of the artwork created in the school. To see these collections, login to RDID with your RISD username and password, then go to Browse, and select RISD Faculty Gallery or RISD Student Gallery from the drop-down list at the top. You can browse by the individual names, or by instructors’ names, departments, courses, semester, and materials. You can also do keyword searches. We hope this feature of RDID will become a resource for students and faculty working on specific project at RISD, and we look forward to your feedback!
