Notes on Using the Internet for Research For research purposes, the Internet consists of the free web and Internet resources that are purchased and provided by ULS Libraries on the deep web (i.e., Grove s Dictionary of Art and other databases listed below and Pitt Cat, the ULS online catalog). Web resources on the deep web including many article databases are carefully chosen to support academic work. Use these resources to locate books, articles, and other resources that you cannot access through the free web. Start on the ULS home page to search Internet resources provided by the ULS. The free web is a great place to look for factual and introductory information and for some types of images. Note, however, that only about 6% of the free web is academic in nature. Much of the rest of what is on the Internet is commercial or personal. Sites on the free web vary greatly in quality and must be critically evaluated. While books and journals are usually reviewed for substance and accuracy before they are published, anyone can create a web site that says anything at all. Evaluate each web site and choose the best ones for your work. For more on this topic see the ULS web site entitled Surfing the Cyber Library http://www.library.pitt.edu/guides/eval/ Use search engines to search the free web. Each search engine has strengths and weaknesses and will produce different results. None effectively searches the entire web. Try using more than one search engine for your searches. Use an advanced search more to do more flexible searching. Navigating the ULS Digital Library www.library.pitt.edu Login: Pitt User Name and Password ULS Digital Library includes over 400 databases that are available for your use with your Pitt User Name and Password 24/7 from dorm, office, or home. Connecting From Home or Dorm Room You can connect from home to the ULS Digital Library and search the online databases to which it subscribes by using a web- based service called SSL VPN. Instructions on doing this are provided at a link in the NEWS section of the ULS Digital Library home page. Click on Accessing Library Resources from Off Campus. No special software is required. If you have problems connecting with SSL VPN, please contact Pitt s Technology Department help line at 412-624-HELP (4357) for assistance. NOTE: If you do not connect to SSL-VPN, you will not be able to access any databases to which the ULS subscribes! Part of the fees you pay to attend Pitt pays for the databases, so you will want to put them to good use during your research projects. -- 2 --
Introduction This bibliography is highly selective and is intended only as a guide to follow in beginning the research process. All items listed are either in the Frick Fine Arts Library or Hillman Library, but one must also note whether the title is in the Reading. Reference Room or stacks of the Frick Fine Arts Library or the Reference Department (Ground floor) of Hillman Library. Gathering Information Two important words of advice: Throughout the research process it is essential that you record the complete citations as you find them. Incomplete citations will cause you to spend additional time attempting to locate them later! In addition, when doing research in the field of art and architectural history, it is also essential to keep track of where illustrations are located. Illustrations are not indexed well and keeping a record of where they are located will save you the time of trying to find the illustrations again after you decide you want to use some in your term paper. Creating Your Working Bibliography It is important to create a working bibliography while you search for materials. E-mail, save to a disk / flash drive or printout the class reserves list E-mail, save to a disk / flash drive or printout Pitt Cat citations; or use the BookBag feature of Pitt Cat to keep a list of the citations. E-mail, save to a disk / flash drive or printout citations for journal articles in databases Fully explore footnotes and/or bibliographies in encyclopedia articles, books on reserve, books found in Pitt Cat, essays and journal articles Keep a list of where illustrations are located that you may want to use in your written paper Locating Introductory Information Gathering Introductory Information When beginning research on a topic with which one is unfamiliar, it is sometimes wise to look for background information. This can be accomplished by using specialized dictionaries and encyclopedias as a starting point for research. Their function is two-fold: To present introductory information clearly and concisely; articles are written by scholars in the field To lead the reader to further sources of information (by using the bibliographies at the end of each article) -- 3 --

Frick Reference Encyclopedias NA200/C493/2007 Arranged in chronological order, this encyclopedia covers architects and famous buildings throughout the world. Includes black-and-white photographs, floorplans, and timelines of historical periods. Grove Dictionary of Art. Available for you to search yourself at any electronic device in ULS libraries. Begin at the ULS Digital Library Home Page, click Databases Alphabetically, click the letter G, and then click the title of the database. This recent full-text encyclopedia for the field of art and architecture provides articles under the names of individual countries, including those in Africa and Asia (i.e., Central Asia, China, et al); biographies of individual artists and architects; and articles on art schools and concepts. Cities can also be searched as can the names of individual buildings. The articles and bibliographies have been written by art and architectural historians around the world. All of the information is current and updated periodically. Grove s is particularly good for biographies on all but the most obscure artists -- and it is written in English, unlike many biographical resources on artists. New articles are added to the electronic database periodically (i.e. Contemporary Asian Art was added in Fall 2005). The key feature that sets this encyclopedia apart from all others in the field is that it covers all cultures and all countries. NOTES: Each article includes information on How to Cite the Article (scroll to the bottom of the article). While this database now places illustrations within recently written articles, when the database was first created, the images were located at a separate Links button and then search by subject or artist s name.
