When searching for books you have two main options. Use MUSCAT Plus to find books we have at Musselman Library or use WorldCat to search for and request books from other libraries, but be sure to leave yourself enough time for the book to be delivered. If you want to borrow books from other libraries you will need an ILLiad account. If you don't already have an ILLiad account it takes just a couple of minutes to set one up.
Aren't sure where to find a book in the library? Note the book's call number that is listed in MUSCAT Plus, and then check the call number signs posted at the reference desk and at each floor's entrance for call number locations. Also, keep in mind that a lot of Art and Art History books with large photos are located in the oversized section on the ground floor.
Try these reference books if you are looking for general background information on a variety of Art & Art History topics:
From Abacus to Zeus: A Handbook of Art History
