How Do I Use Art Full Text?
OmniFile Full Text Mega: Art (Art Full Text) is a crucial source for research on all periods of art, art history, and architectural history broadly defined, including stylistic periods and movements and individual artists throughout the history of art from the ancient period through the present day. Please note that Art Full Text is a partial full-text database that includes article abstracts. Full-text content is not always available within the database itself.
- To use Art Full Text 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."
- You will be taken to Wilson Web's Advanced Search Screen. In the bottom right-hand corner is a box marked "Subject
Area". In this box, highlight Art (ART).
- 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.
- If you are in immediate need of articles available online in full text, you can check the box marked "Limit to: Full
Text Articles". For more comprehensive results, don't check any of the delimiter boxes. If an article is not available
in full text, it is easy to request the article through Rutgers Article Delivery Service or interlibrary loan. See below
for more details.
- Search Results are returned in the following format:
Author. Article Title. Volume, issue. (Date) pages
- Click on the hyperlinked article title to view the abstract.
- If full text is available, there will be an icon to view/print the article in PDF or HTML format.
- 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 Art Full Text, place a check in the box to the left of the article list. Then, on the
top menu bar, click "Print, Email, Save". On the next screen there will be a tabbed bar with the options "Print, Email,
Save, Exporting" Click on the tab marked "Email" Enter your email address, fill in the subject line, click email and the
citations and full text (if available) will be sent to you.
