Core Art + Design Databases

Articles from art journals are found in many of our databases. Academic Search, JSTOR, and Expanded Academic are three of the top databases for Art historical research. For Art Educuation articles, please use Education Full text and ERIC databases.

Some databases provide article citations, but not full text. The Find It! button will link to full text across databases. If full text is not available, request it via Interlibrary Loan.
