Additional Web Resources

Art education is a field with strong interdisciplinary ties. Researchers may need to consult sources in a number of subject areas, such as the arts, education, psychology, psychiatry, tests and measurements, sociology, public administration and museum studies. The Library has subject pages for many of these areas. This guide is not meant to be comprehensive; consult with a reference librarian for other suggestions.

The items in this guide are shelved in Zimmerman Library and the Fine Arts Library. Call numbers preceded by “ZIM” are shelved in Zimmerman Library. Items with call numbers preceded by “FAL” can be found in the Fine Arts Library. Ask for assistance regarding specific locations within these libraries.

This page is supplemented by the Art, Art History and Photography, Education, and Psychology pages.

Abstracts, Indexes, and Research Databases

Indexes and abstracts are available in print and electronic format; some of the latter provide full-text articles. Some important online indexes to articles on art and art history, including specialized and interdisciplinary resources, are listed below. Additional databases are listed on the Research Databases and Indexes by Name page. The Journals and magazines section has links to other periodical resources.

Journals

Search Journal One Search for holdings. Years of coverage vary per title. Copies of articles in titles that the UL does not own can be requested through Interlibrary Loan. Due to the April 30, 2006 fire in Zimmerman Library, print journals previously located there are currently unavailable. All the surviving periodicals and microforms were shipped out of state for cleaning and further assessment. An opening date for the heavily damaged basement level has not yet been determined. None of the journals or microforms sent for cleaning and restoration will be returned until the basement can be re-opened. Please use Interlibrary Loan to request copies of articles from these publications. ILL is only available to UNM students, faculty and staff.
