 The State Library of Ohio is pleased to announce that CAMIO-Catalog of
Art Museum Images Online is now available for State Library of Ohio card
holders for research and educational purposes. CAMIO contains about
95,000 works of fine and decorative art from leading museums around the
world. The scope of the collection ranges from 3000 BCE to the present,
representing premiere examples of Asian, African, Latin American and
Western art. Difficult-to-find contemporary art is one of its strengths.
The content includes high-resolution images of photographs, paintings,
sculpture, decorative and utilitarian objects, prints, drawings and
watercolors, jewelry and costumes, textiles, books, installations, and
architecture-plus audio-video and mixed media. Benefits of the interface
include downloading high-resolution images, the ability to e-mail images
and metadata for further study, and fast, powerful, Web-based searching.
All content is rights-cleared for research and educational use. This
easy-to-use resource is only accessible for registered library card
holders through the State Library of Ohio website at the following link:
http://www.library.ohio.gov/PCS/digitalcontent and selecting the CAMIO
