In addition to the MDID@SAIC database, the Flaxman Library provides a wide selection of image resources. For a complete list visit libraryguides.saic.edu/images

MDID@SAIC allows instructors to create image slideshows, which can be shown online and made available for students for study online. Upload your own images or draw from over 150,000 images currently in MDID. The collection is primarily driven by faculty requests, so contact us with image digitization or purchase requests.

MDID is available as an image and research resource for the entire SAIC community. Increased access and presentation tools are also available for  SAIC Faculty, Teaching Assistants and Graduate Students. Please contact us for full-access privileges at vrc@saic.edu or 312-899-5101

The previous method of downloading MDID presentations and launching them with the desktop software ImageViewer no longer works this fall because of system upgrades to the classroom computers. Instead you will now use a web-based presentation viewer called MediaViewer. You will find a link to it in the “My Presentations” section of MDID. The presentation will immediately launch in your browser.

For assistance or training you can also contact us at vrc@saic.edu or 312-899-5101 or stop by the MacLean Visual Resources Center at Sharp 507.
