Library Resources — Indexes, Abtracts, and Databases

The following are just a few of the indexes that will cover articles dealing with art and architecture. Depending on the focus of your project, other indexes and databases may also provide valuable sources. For example, if you were trying to discover if certain types of art have therapeutic value to viewers, you might very well find a psychology index or database useful. If you wanted to investigate art in its social context you might want to use a sociology research database. In short, go into the project with the idea that no one source will give you all the answers and then review the Library's database list for good candidates. Please note that, to reach any of the databases listed below, you will first need to log in to the library's system using your library number (located at the bottom of your Osprey card).

Library Resources -- Reference Collection (2nd Floor)

Reference materials provide quick answers on a variety of subjects. The UNF Library's Reference Collection should have specialized encyclopedias, dictionaries, and handbooks for nearly any subject you want to cover. The following materials are particularly useful for beginning a research project dealing with art or architecture. You should also use the library's catalog to search for more specific areas. For example, if you are looking into women artists, try looking for the keywords "women" and "art" in the advanced search screen. You can also limit the search to the Reference Collection by choosing Reference from the Location pull-down option.
