Please note: ARTstor does not work perfectly on all platforms with the proxy server and may not save images correctly (Safari on a Mac and Firefox on a PC seem to work well; IE and Firefox on a Mac less well). If you're off campus and want to use ARTstor, you do not need to use the proxy server as long as you have created an account with ARTstor, which you can use as an off-campus login.
