How to use The Bibliography of the History of Art
The Bibliography of the History of Art is one of the chief indexes for the study of art and art
history and is particularly useful for the study of European art and for foreign language
materials. Please note that the Bibliography of the History of Art is a citation-based index;
full-text content of the articles is NOT available within the index.
- To use the Bibliography of the History of Art, visit the Rutgers University Libraries homepage at
http://www.libraries.rutgers.edu
Under "Find Articles," click on the "Indexes and Databases" link.
Click "Arts and Humanities," then "Art" and then the database name.
Or, scroll through the "By Title" list to Bibliography of the History of Art.
At the next screen, click "Connect."
- The search screen will appear. Make sure "BibHisArt" is chosen in the "Search in Database"
dropdown menu. There are three primary ways to search this in "Basic Search" - by Keyword,
Author, or Title Word.
- Perhaps the simplest way to get started is to search by keyword.
In order to search by keyword, develop a few keyword and keyword combinations that describe your
topic. Enter your keywords or keyword combinations (using the word "and" between terms.)
- A list of records for your search will appear with title highlighted, followed by author,
source, document name, database, and a link for locating more details.
- Click on the title to view the detailed record including the "Search for Article link,"
database name, author/title or periodical title, date, volume/issue, pages, and descriptors.
- Click on a checkbox to mark a record to be e-mailed or printed in Marked Records.
- Once in the record, clicking on "Search for Article" will locate the article or journal if
it is available in the Rutgers University Libraries. Please note that the Libraries hold
periodical descriptions in both electronic and paper formats.
- 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.
