Access possibilities to the image archive
Have you already noticed the change in the left navigation bar on the “prometheus – the distributed digital image archive for research and teaching” website?
There are now three different ways to access the image archive. Campus access is not new. If you are located with your PC within a network of the currently 166 licensed institutions, you can use the campus access. Once you have read and confirmed the terms of use, you can use the simple and advanced search functions.
Personal access is also not new. If you don’t have one yet, you can register to use the image archive, free of charge if you belong to one of the licensed institutions already mentioned. With a personal account, you can create additional image collections, easily create your own image database or save your preferred settings. For a one-week trial access, fill out a short form and after verification of your research interest you will be activated.
A new option is “Shibboleth access (DFN)”. As announced in September last year you can log in there via “Single-Sign-On” if you belong to one of the following institutions: Pädagogisches Zentrum Basel-Stadt, Bibliothek Universität Greifswald, Universität zu Köln, Zürcher Hochschule der Künste. Further institutions will follow.
