How Do I Use ARTbibliographies Modern?
ARTbibliographies Modern is one of the chief bibliographic resources for locating scholarly articles in modern
and contemporary arts. Please note that ARTbibliographies Modern is a citation-based index that includes article
abstracts. Full-text content is NOT available within the index itself.
-
To use ARTbibliographies Modern, visit the homepage of the Rutgers University Libraries at
http://www.libraries.rutgers.edu
Click on "Find Articles."
Click on "Indexes and Databases."
Click "Arts and Humanities," then "Art" and then the database name.
Or click here.
At the next screen, click "Connect."
- A quick search screen will appear. Perhaps the simplest way to get started is to search by keyword(s). Enter keywords that describe your topic- these keywords are your search terms, for example, "Picasso and African art." Keep in mind that too many search terms may produce few or no results, while too few search terms may produce too many results. You may have to try a range of search terms before finding those that work best for you.
- Search results are returned in the following format:
"Article Title."
Author
Periodical Title, Volume/Issue, Date, Pages
Article Abstract
- Beneath the Article Abstract, you will see "View Record," and "Search for Article."
Click on "View Record" to see a complete citation for the article, including a full abstract.
- Clicking on "Search for Article" begins a search in IRIS, the catalog of the Rutgers University Libraries, for the
Periodical Title listed in the citation. This will take you to a Rutgers University Libraries page that lists search
criteria and lists links to full- text electronic access for the journal or article, if it is available.
- To check for print holdings, click on "Search the Library's Catalog by ISSN." A full record for the source, including
electronic and print holdings, will appear.
- If the article is not available electronically but Rutgers holds it in print you may request free electronic delivery
of the article through
Rutgers Article Delivery Services. If "Sorry, no holdings were found for this journal" appears,
you may wish to consider ordering an
interlibrary loan for the resource.
- To send yourself citations from ARTBibliographies Modern, place a check in the box that says "mark" next to the
results of interest to you. Then, on the next screen, under "Save, Print, Email," enter your email address, and click
"Email." Citation results will be sent to you.
