* Hints:

• You will start noticing that the call numbers are similar- once you find a good call number area - browse the shelves with those numbers for more similar material.
• Most of the books you need will be on the fifth floor of the Fine Arts Library (entry is on 3rd)
• Use the Keyword Search page to limit to the Fine Arts Library, etc.

Also try these Internet sources:

From the Databases and Indexes to Articles page:

• ArtStor
• Grove Art Online. Click on Images on the lower left of the page
• Academic Search Premier Click on the Images button in the green bar at the top then search for topics

Also:

• DASE (Digital Archive Services) from the College of Liberal Arts
