The library’s subscription resources are available for everyone to access from the library’s Reading Room. This includes art and design encyclopedias, full-text articles, abstract and index databases, newspapers and specialized resources on art sales, auction catalogs, and more.

We also link to several freely available online resources that you can access from anywhere through the “All Databases” link.

When in the library, there are several ways to search the library’s e-resources:

All Databases: You can click the “All Databases” link in the header here. From there, you can search each database individually.

Searching across database collections: You can switch between a physical book search and a digital article search by selecting the drop-down menu labeled “Library Catalog” to the right of your search term. This will allow you to refine your search to “Articles” or “Library Catalog.” “Library Catalog” will search primarily physical items such as books, journals, etc. “Articles” will search database collections where you can find citations and full-text articles.

Under “Articles”, there will be a second drop-down menu with two options “Central Index” and “EBSCOhost.” Both options search articles in databases. To do a comprehensive article search, select both options.
