New Database - CAMIO

As part of our OCLC FirstSearch subscription (for no additional cost): "CAMIO—Catalog of Art Museum Images Online —contains about 95,000 works of fine and decorative art from leading museums around the world. The scope of the collection ranges from 3000 BCE to the present, representing premiere examples of Asian, African, Latin American and Western art. Difficult-to-find contemporary art is one of its strengths. The content includes high-resolution images of photographs, paintings, sculpture, decorative and utilitarian objects, prints, drawings and watercolors, jewelry and costumes, textiles, books, installations, and architecture—plus audio-video and mixed media. Benefits of the interface include downloading high-resolution images, the ability to e-mail images and metadata for further study, and fast, powerful, Web-based searching. All content is rights-cleared for educational use." [OCLC description viewed 3/6/09]

UI Change to EBSCOhost

We have removed the 'References Available' limiter from the default EBSCOhost search. This feature does not limit results to any article that includes references, instead it limits to journals meeting various criteria set by EBSCOhost.
