The reference collection is a great place to start your research, but it is important to know what kind of information a reference source offers. An encyclopedia may give you a broad overview of your topic and will help you identify search terms. This type of reference source will help you begin your research, but it should not be the foundation for a history research paper. Begin your research by using the print reference collection located at the front of the library or use one of the online reference databases.
Part of Oxford Art Online, Grove Art features entries on artists, architects, craftsmen, patrons, movements, locations, and periods, as well as bibliographies
for further research and thousands of searchable images made available through Oxford’s partnerships with museums, galleries, and other outstanding arts organizations.
