Art History and Theory - Finding books on your topic

To find a book using the Library's online catalogue:

• Use a title search if you know the title of the book you are looking for.
  Tip: If the title begins with A, An, or The, omit these articles.
• Use an author search if you know the name of the author of the book.
  Tip: Check that you have the correct spelling of the author's name.
• Use a subject search to find a book about an artist.
  Tip: Type the surname first, eg: Picasso Pablo
• Use keywords from the title, author or contents, if you don't know the exact title or subject.
  In a keyword search, the words do not need to be in the correct order.
  A keyword search may find your search terms in:
  • title
  • author's name
  • list of chapter headings
  , or
  • subject descriptors
