Welcome to the Art research guide

This site is intended to help researchers find the resources they need by providing links to article and image databases, library resources, Internet portals and other reference tools.  While this page provides quick links to resources,  feel free to chat or otherwise consult with a librarian for ways in which these resources may be used to solve research problems.  Additionally, it includes citation models for images and text, as well as listings of current events and thematic issues.

If you need instant help, chat with a librarian using the Chat box on the lower right--->
---or call the Howard-Tilton Library Research Help desk @ (504) 865-5606
