is designed to meet the needs of high school students enrolled in various AP courses. It contains more than 5700 full-text journals and over 300,000 photos, maps and flags. Subject areas include mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, human geography, psychology, economics & statistics; government & politics; environmental science; U.S., European and world history; the arts and music.I might have skipped over this resource just because it says it's designed to "meet the needs of high school students". Skipping it would have been a mistake!
It's an EBSCO product, the search is fairly straightforward. The opening screen allows me to limit my search in 'image quick view' to B&W, color, map, diagram, illustration, graph, and chart (or all).
I searched for Statue of Liberty, limiting the search to a Quick image in B&W, Color, and illustration. The option to e-mail the article/photo with the appropriate citation (MLA, APA, AMA, Chicago Turabian, Harvard) makes this a very handy resource for accurate citing of image sources.
This is the MLA Works cited for this photo:
"STATUE OF LIBERTY: The Statue of Liberty as seen from the Hudson River in New York on September 11, 2006. (UPI Photo/Laura Cavanaugh)." (2006): Image Collection. EBSCO. Web. 28 Sept. 2011.
Most EBSCO resources have the Cite link in the toolbar on the right. For this database you will need to e-mail yourself the citation. I suggest emailing articles and citations to oneself just to make sure you get all the details. I admit to leaving off some pertinent point when I'm writing the citation. The email version gives me everything I'll need for a complete citation, incuding punctuation.
To access this database, you do need the current password to GALILEO available from your Georgia librarian. Go to Databases A-Z, select A, scroll to Advanced Placement Source
