Library Catalogs

Cofrin Library Catalog
The Cofrin Library Catalog may have information on your artist, assuming they are prominent. It may also be useful for getting books on the style of art your subject practices. Don't worry if you don't find a book on your artist in the Cofrin collection. There still might be plenty of material accessible through the resources listed below.

Online Databases -- When accessing from off campus you will be asked to enter your username and password (the same information you use to log on to the campus network).

Art Full Text
A key database that lists articles in Art magazines and journals. Search using your artist's name.

Academic Search PremierAlthough art is not the primary focus you may be able to find information about your artist in publications that are not included in Art Full Text.

ProQuest Newspapers
Access to full text articles in the New York Times, Washington Post, and hundreds of other newspapers worldwide. You can also set an Arts limit in document type. This will return more substantial articles.

Print Journals

The journals are located on the 4th floor of the library and are shelved alphabetically by
the first letter of the title. So, if you wanted to flip through issues of Artforum International you could go up to the 4th floor to the "A" section. Using ArtFullText will generate articles included in our print holdings; looking at the print version is one way to access images of the artist's work.

Reference Resources

May provide a bibliography of sources you can track down to use. Will also provide good basic information.

The library has a few reference resources on the third floor, that may be of use. Contemporary Women Artists (N 8354 C66 1999) gives some biographical information, exhibition dates, publications, and books that artists are mentioned in. Stop at the reference desk on the third floor if you have questions.
