Trial – Medical Images Database

The Health Sciences Library currently has access to a database of medical, scientific and technical images. SpringerImages is a database that includes images from Springer publications as well as from other sources including images.MD.  The images in this database include photos, graphs, figures and tables.  There are currently of 1.6 million images in the database and the number increases each day.

Users can browse the database by topic, such as Biomedicine or Physics.  There is also a search tool that will search image captions.  Images in the database can be used for educational purposes, such a course lectures, without having to ask for permission.

SpringerImages can be accessed from the library’s homepage under the Databases link.

Faculty, staff and students on the UC Denver AMC will have access to this database through December 31, 2009.  The library would greatly appreciate feedback and comments from users as to the usefulness and usability of this resource.  Feedback can be given to your librarian or e-mailed to library.reference@ucdenver.edu.
