  1. Finding Articles Fleet Library @ RISD

  2. Why Look in Journals & Magazines? • Periodicals are an excellent source of information on emerging artists, new theories, trends, imagery, and current research. • Writers introduce new scholarship to their professional peers by publishing in journals. • Articles trace the historical development of an idea over time as well as its reception and influence on popular culture. • Articles can provide an in-depth focus on topics not available in books, such as the study of a single work of art or a particular aspect of an artist’s oeuvre.

  3. There aretwotypes of request when looking for articles in the library: • Specific Request You come to the library with a specific citation for an article with the need to determine whether the library has access to the journal. example: New museum to the Bowery. ArtinAmerica v. 95 no. 11(December 2007)p. 33, 35 • Open-ended Request You have chosen a topic and would like to find out what articles have been written on it. example: William Kentridge & his film making process let’s start with the first instance - finding a specific journal by title

  4. Finding Journals by Title There are two places to check for journals by title: For print publications, search the RISD catalog by title library.risd.edu > Title example: art in america

  5. Understanding Journals Records look at the Art in America record Notice • Oldest issues (1913-1970) are kept in Special Collections (2nd floor) • Issues from 1971-1980 are in Storage (basement) • Open Stacks refer to the first floor of the library • the most recent issue available in the library is January 2008 • Art in America v. 95 no. 11(Dec 2007)p. 33, 35 will be in the Open Stacks

  13. What is a Scholarly Journal? Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed & Academic JournalsIn the peer-review process, before an article is published it undergoes a critical review by an independent panel of experts in the field.Most of the RISD Online Article databases include the ability to limit to peer-review, scholarly or academic journals. • select databases related to your topic • look for the search option to limit to scholarly or peer-review journals • search full-text, scholarly journal databases -JSTOR, Project Muse

Which ones cover contemporary art and art history? • For this topic, Art Bibliographies Modern & Art Full Text would cover 20th/21st century art & artists
