Art Indexes

Music/Drama Library > Drama Research Guide > Image Research > Art Indexes

These indexes (located in the Art & Design Library) help you identify books that contain reproductions of art works. Using an index is often faster than browsing, and indexes can help you find art that is not available on the Internet.

Just look up your artist, art title, or subject in one of the indexes below (you may have to try several on the shelves nearby). The index will give the title of an anthology or collection containing a reproduction. (The index may also give you a number to look up at the front of the index, which lists the anthology's title.) Search for the resulting anthology or collection in HOMER to see if UConn owns it. .
