Encyclopaedia Britannica has made available to EPIC member libraries a trial to their new resource Image Quest.
“With the emphasis very much on copyright and the issues arising from the misuse of images from the internet, Britannica has provided institutions with a perfect solution in Image Quest. With over 2 million high quality images reproduced at 150 dpi from over 50 providers and 30 subject categories, Image Quest provides a fast, safe and simple search across broad or specific search terms. All images are rights-cleared for non-commercial, educational use — great for teacher lesson plans, assignments, activities, and whiteboards; student reports and projects; or university/school Web sites, newsletters, newspapers, flyers, and bulletins.”
This has been added this to the Electronic Resources Trials page on the Library Web.

Is there a special login? I just tried logging in with my UC login and it didn’t work.
There shouldn’t be any need for a login, however it is available on Campus only for the trial period.
