Bible Image Library

Pictorial Library of Bible Lands is a ten CD set of more than 5000 images related to locations mentioned in scriptures of the Hebrew Bible and New Testament.  Use of the images is given copyright clearance for personal and educational presentations with a simple attribution to the photographer, Todd Bolen .  These beautiful photos include landscapes, structures, and archaeological artifacts from the Middle East, Egypt, Turkey, Greece, and Rome. 

With a complete index of the whole set on every CD, the image library is searchable by keyword, using the browser’s find function (control f).  Images are in .jpg format with 1600X1200 resolution, which needs to be reduced for use in PowerPoint.  However, each CD also includes PowerPoint presentations with correctly sized (1024X768) and informatively annotated images.  PPts also include brief bibliographies.

The Pictorial Library of Bible Lands can be found in the Durham Reading Room media cabinet drawer marked “CD-ROM” under the call number DS44.5 .B65 2004.�

Discover Primo

Primo is a new way to search for books, journals, and databases in Emory libraries and for articles in the journals licensed by the University.  It is now in beta release, fully functional, but needing some refinements and occasional downtime for fixes.  Please give it a try and send your feedback through the form on the Primo interface.

Here’s part of what you’ll find:

  • a login with your Emory NetID and password to make a personalized bookshelf and save searches.
  • two tabs, one for finding the titles of books and other Emory local resources and one for finding articles in databases
  • post-search suggestions of ways to refine your topic
  • spelling corrections
  • quickest possible links to resources

Stop by a librarian’s desk for an orientation or to share comments.
