 Article Indexes
You can search for individual articles that have been published in academic journals and other periodicals.
- The Architectural Index
- The Getty Information Institute includes the Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals and RILA, the International repository of Art Literature.
- For Newspapers online check the Internet Public Library for listings.
- IngentaConnect Article Access & Delivery
(formerly "Uncover") boasts a database of current article information taken from many
thousands of multi disciplinary journals. It contains brief
descriptions of millions of articles. Just searching for titles is
free, and you can usually locate the actual journal articles at a local
library.
IngentaConnect also offers the
convenient service of faxing articles to you for a fee. Some of the
cost covers copyright fees, so authors and editors get their fair
share. Be wary of sending your credit card number over the internet;
the liability is yours and will not be covered by the limitation of
liability guaranteed by your credit card company. Sending a check or
money order by snail mail to keep an account with Uncover would be more
prudent.
A number of universities have
excellent index collections online but they are password protected so
that only students and faculty can use them. Indexes on CD-ROM, such as
the Art Index may also be available at your library, but not online. Check if your university provides such a service.
