INSIGHT at Smith

Digital Images for Teaching and Learning
The Luna Imaging Insight® software program allows faculty, students and staff to manage, access, use, and present digital images across the Smith campus. Using Insight ®, viewers experience images in a revolutionary way. Complete cataloguing data accompanies every image, allowing for in-depth searches of the collections. Using Insight, multiple images from different artists, places or periods, can be viewed side-by-side. Or, the end user can create their own collections of images by saving groups of images online. Insight is administered by the Imaging Center (3rd Floor, Hillyer Hall)
ACCESS TO INSIGHT AT SMITH IS LIMITED TO SMITH COLLEGE ONLY.
