I used the San Francisco Art Museums database to check out their John
Frederick Lewis watercolours for a recent conference paper.  Even at the
Yale Center for British Art (library) I had not been able to find all
those images.  It allowed me to expand the paper in a way I could not
have through books or local collections; and living on the East Coast,
San Francisco is quite a hike.  If I were to pursue the topic, I would
probably make a trip out there, but for my purposes, being able to
access the images on the web was perfect.

I often also search for specific images for a class I teach at a local
college.  I link the images to the course web site for study purposes
and to direct the students to sites where they can find more information
about those pieces.
