| ARTstor |
 |
 |
ARTstor is a large digital image library that includes hundreds of thousands of high-quality images for teaching and research. The various collections include images of artworks (paintings, sculpture, etc.), photography (both "artistic" and documentary) as well as the built environment (architectural structures and monuments). ARTstor also provides users with up to 1000 MB of space to store their own images using the "personal collections" feature; once in ARTstor, these personal collections can be used side-by-side with the other ARTstor collections offered. | |
| Blackboard |
 |
|
NYU Blackboard allows faculty to create websites that supplement their courses by facilitating communication and providing easy access to digital content. Instead of printing, faculty can go green by posting documents such as their syllabus, weekly readings, and images, as well as links to external websites and streaming multimedia files. NYU Blackboard also has tools for interactive assessment, quizzing, grading, and more. | |
| Data Service Studio |
 |
|
The NYU Data Service Studio conveniently locates staff, software, statistical computing, and data collection resources to support NYU research and scholarship. The facility features work and instruction space where students and faculty access resources in statistical analysis and geographic information systems (GIS) including a variety of software for statistical, quantitative, qualitative and GIS analysis (SPSS, SAS, STATA, R, ESRI GIS mapping products, Matlab, and others). | |
| Faculty Digital Archive |
 |
|
The Faculty Digital Archive (FDA) is a place where full-time NYU faculty can deposit their work in digital form. While the FDA is intended to be a highly visible and long-term repository of NYU faculty digital scholarship, collections may also be restricted to only selected people. Collection owners can add rich metadata to items in their collection so they are more easily discoverable and better indexed in search engines. | |
| Files 2.0 |
 |
|
Files 2.0 provides individuals and departments with 2GB of secure, web-based file storage, as well as sophisticated capabilities for accessing and sharing files among individuals and members of a group, including individuals outside the NYU community. Users can also activate their accounts (via NYUHome) for "public sharing," which allows them to create public web pages. | |
| Google Scholar |
 |
Google Scholar is a search engine for finding scholarly literature – such as peer reviewed articles, papers, thesis and books – across a variety of disciplines. You can set your Google Scholar preferences to indicate when NYU has a subscription to a source and be directed to its full text. You can also push Google Scholar citations to RefWorks and EndNote reference management programs. | ||
| iGoogle |
 |
iGoogle lets you create a personalized homepage that contains a Google search box at the top, and your choice of any number of gadgets. iGoogle gadgets include Gmail and Google Docs, web searching (Google, youtube, maps), RSS feed aggregators, reference and translation tools, and applications that allow easy instant messaging, SMS, blogging, and microblogging. | ||
| Webspace |
 |
|
Webspace enables members of NYU departments to securely store, access, and share files containing potentially sensitive data. Use of Webspace is limited to those departments and employees who had access to Webspace before the introduction of Files 2.0 in June 2008, or those who request access using the form located at http://www.nyu.edu/its/webspace/request. For more information about Webspace, see http://www.nyu.edu/its/filestorage/webspace. To access the system, go to the URL below and log in with your NYU NetID and password, or visit the Files tab in NYUHome. | |
| Zoho |
 |
Zoho is a collection of web-based tools, such as email, a wiki, project management software, document sharing functionality, a chat tool, a database tool, and several others. Zoho has a similar model to Google, offering these tools entirely as entirely web-based products free to individuals. However, Zoho does tier access to its tools, with some tools and functionality only available for a fee. Their stated audience is individuals, students, educators, small organizations, and non-profits. |
