SLS 560 - Academic Reading, Writing and Grammar in Art and Design

When searching make sure to try a variety of words. Here are a few tips:

• Thesaurus
  • A Regular Thesaurus
  • Art and Architecture Thesaurus
• Look at Subject Headings or Keywords
  • When an article is found look to see what keywords the author has assigned with it and search with those as well.
• Brainstorm
  • Find connections between different words that can help open new doors when searching.

When using a database, look for PDF links. 

In Catalog+, clicking the title of an article may take you directly to the article. If a catalog record appears instead, look for the green Article link. Click to access the article. There may be multiple options for access in different databases.

If no online options exist at SCAD, search the publication's title in journal title search to see if it is available in print.

No digital OR print options for your article? Not sure how to find a printed article on the shelf? Experiencing technical issues/broken links? Ask A Librarian!
