Fine Arts Questions

art, music databases, reference databases, Research July 7, 2014 Library Resources, Matt Dilworth, Research mdilwort

This summer, we’ve been examining the tools available to you to perform the best possible research at IU East – from broadly applicable general techniques to in-depth tools for specific disciplines. This week, we’ll explore the fine arts. Fine arts is a broad subject, including the graphic arts, music, and performance art. You might be looking at a specific creator, or a creation. Or, you might be exploring a technique, instead. We have plenty of good arts databases for examining theory, execution, or artist. Some, like JSTOR, Humanities International Index, or ProQuest Arts are good for any of the fine arts. Others are more specific – ones like International Index to Performing Arts, Film Index International, Garland Encyclopedia of World Music … Continued
