This resource provides access to more than 800,000 photographs collected since 1850 (!) as well as more than 14,000 graphics. The bulk of the photographs in the collection are those taken by Associated Press photographers over the past ten years. The library's license allows faculty and students to make use of the images in the database in non-commercial multimedia presentations.
The archive allows users to search the database by keyword, time period or specific date, location or any combination of these three. Each day, the archive provides access to the approximately 800 photographs taken by AP photographers all over the world (usually within minutes of the time the photos are taken). Each photo includes detailed captions which put the photos in context. At the end of the day, AP editors select the 200 most significant photos of the day and add these to the permanent collection. If you’re interested in how this works, just log in around noon (http://ap.accuweather.com/) and type “today” in the “when” box and press ENTER. You’ll have immediate access to a fascinating collection of several hundred photographs taken earlier that day, in the order they were taken.
The AP Multimedia Archive is also a rich source of interesting and useful newspaper graphics. These include maps, diagrams, charts, graphs, and illustrations - all the kinds of graphics you might find in the daily newspaper. (To see a sample of the kinds of illustrations included in the database, you might try a sample search like “Afghanistan and caves” in the “What” box after specifying “Graphics PDF.”)
If you have any questions or would like some help using this database, please call the reference desk at x6662. (NOTE: Please logoff the database when you are finished using it so that the next person will have access to it. There is a limit of five simultaneous users for CC.)

Reference Librarians at Tutt Join Global Reference Network
Tutt Library has been accepted as a member of a bold experiment in digital reference service started by the Library of Congress. The project, Collaborative Digital Reference Service (CDRS) provides professional reference service to users anywhere, anytime, through an international digital network of libraries.
Currently 200 libraries and research institutions are members of CDRS. Member libraries are from nearly every continent. Colorado College has the distinction of being the first (and currently only) library in Colorado that holds membership.
What does this mean for CC students and faculty? If Tutt reference librarians are presented with a question not answerable with the considerable resources at their disposal, the question can be sent electronically to another library through the CDRS system. The system then assigns the question to a library with the expert staff and collections most likely to be able to answer the question. For instance, a question on naval military protocol might be answered by the Naval War College in Rhode Island. One library used the system for getting help in transliterating a Saudi place name.
Tutt Library’s involvement in this virtual network of reference service expands our opportunity to provide the best service possible to the CC community.
